The 2.6 version of jackson is receiving limited continued maintenance. Security fixes
are not actively being backported. As this is the case, use the latest stable branch
(2.9) and grab the latest stable release.

We unfortunately cannot change the version of Jackson as we still support Java 6 which is not supported in newer versions of Jackson. You are free to override the version in your application's POM though, 2.9 is binary compatible with 2.6.

I see that in the travis build. I've created a PR to backport some CVE fixes(FasterXML/jackson-databind#1945) as well. I'll close this PR then. Thanks.

@shorea - I believe 2.7 supports Java 6. Any problem with a PR for that version?
