Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity via the computeAllFrames method in MethodWriter. An attacker can exhaust CPU and tie up class-file transformation threads for an unbounded time by supplying crafted class files for processing with ClassWriter.COMPUTE_FRAMES; their methods make frame computation’s fixpoint algorithm converge slowly.
