Amazon Linux 2023 Security Advisory: ALAS-2023-105
Advisory Release Date: 2023-02-17 20:48 Pacific
Advisory Updated Date: 2023-02-22 23:25 Pacific
Severity:
Important
Issue Overview:
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. (CVE-2022-42920)
