Fixed In Version: Apache Commons BCEL 6.6.0
Doc Type: If docs needed, set a value
Doc Text:
An out-of-bounds (OOB) write flaw was found in Apache Commons BCEL API. This flaw can be used to produce arbitrary bytecode and may abuse applications that pass attacker-controlled data to those APIs, giving the attacker more control over the resulting bytecode than otherwise expected.

Description Chess Hazlett 2022-11-15 01:42:49 UTC 
Apache Commons BCEL has a number of APIs that would normally only allow changing specific class characteristics. However, due to an out-of-bounds writing issue, these APIs can be used to produce arbitrary bytecode. This could be abused in applications that pass attacker-controllable data to those APIs, giving the attacker more control over the resulting bytecode than otherwise expected. Update to Apache Commons BCEL 6.6.0.
