1) Type Confusion (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-17639)

CWE-ID: CWE-843 - Type confusion

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a type confusion error on Power platforms. A remote attacker can call the System.arraycopy method with a length longer than the length of the source or destination array and cause the current method to return prematurely with an undefined return value. As a result, a remote attacker can influence application flow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
