Bug 880447 – <dev-java/bcel-6.6.0: remote code execution

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Security

[Description John Helmert III 2022-11-08 19:37:48 UTC]

CVE-2022-34169:

The Apache Xalan Java XSLT library is vulnerable to an integer truncation issue when processing malicious XSLT stylesheets. This can be used to corrupt Java class files generated by the internal XSLTC compiler and execute arbitrary Java bytecode. The Apache Xalan Java project is dormant and in the process of being retired. No future releases of Apache Xalan Java to address this issue are expected. Note: Java runtimes (such as OpenJDK) include repackaged copies of Xalan.

Some details in tracker, seems like the bcel fix is: https://github.com/apache/commons-bcel/commit/f3267cbcc900f80851d561bdd16b239d936947f5

which is in 6.6.0, please stabilize ASAP. Not sure how I missed filing this, sorry about that.
