CVE-2019-11772: Eclipse OPENJ9

Critical severity, CVSS 9.8. EPSS: 2.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

In Eclipse OpenJ9 prior to 0.15, the String.getBytes(int, int, byte[], int) method does not verify that the provided byte array is non-null nor that the provided index is in bounds when compiled by the JIT. This allows arbitrary writes to any 32-bit address or beyond the end of a byte array within Java code run under a SecurityManager.

Affected products

• Eclipse OPENJ9: before 0.15.0 (fixed in 0.15.0)
