NVD Description

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

OW2 ASM 5.0 before 9.11 contains an excessive memory allocation vulnerability in ClassReader.readBootstrapMethodsAttribute() that sizes an int array from num_bootstrap_methods without validating attribute_length. Attackers can supply a crafted class file of about 100 bytes that forces roughly 2 GB allocation, causing an OutOfMemoryError that crashes the JVM or consuming thread.
