CVE-2019-11772
This allows arbitrary writes to any 32-bit address or beyond the end of a byte array within Java code run under a SecurityManager.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.10%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
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.
