Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Buffer Overflow due to the improper handling of buffer length during the arrayCopy sequence in specific garbage collection settings. An attacker can manipulate memory and access or alter data outside the intended buffer limits by exploiting the overlap of source and destination memory regions during an arraycopy operation. This is only exploitable if the JVM is running with the -Xgc:concurrentScavenge option on the IBM Z platform.
