CVE-2022-42920 (GCVE-0-2022-42920)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2022-11-07 00:00 – Updated: 2024-08-03 13:19

Title

Apache Commons BCEL prior to 6.6.0 allows producing arbitrary bytecode via out-of-bounds writing

Summary

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.

Severity ?

No CVSS data available.

CWE

CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds Write

Assigner
