NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream asm package and not the asm package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

OW2 ASM 3.0 before 9.11 contains an uncontrolled recursion vulnerability in ClassWriter.replaceAsmInstructions() that allows attackers to cause denial of service through crafted class files. Attackers can supply a class with a large method containing many long forward jumps, triggering unbounded toByteArray() recursion and a StackOverflowError during transformation.
