Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Write via the tcn_write_to_bytebuffer BIO callback process. An attacker can cause the JVM process to crash by sending specially crafted handshake, renegotiation, or post-handshake messages that trigger an out-of-bounds memory copy operation.
