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 Fedora 37 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the FEDORA-2022-01a56f581c 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)
