CVE-2022-42920 Apache-Commons-BCEL: arbitrary bytecode produced via out-of-bounds writing
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2142707

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.
