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.

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-7208-1 advisory.

    Felix Wilhelm discovered that Apache Commons BCEL APIs incorrectly handled parameters due to a memory     issue. An attacker supplying malicious input could exploit this to generate and execute arbitrary     bytecode.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:4331-1 advisory.

  - 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)
