Fedora 40: FEDORA-2024-129d8ca6fc High: Apache Commons Type Confusion in V8

fedora
Calendar Grey March 7, 2024
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Ubuntu Patch UBUNTU-2025-218c9ab8gf solves severe memory corruption in JavaScriptCore impacting apache-commons-lang4.
Change for system JDK from 17 to 21

Summary

The standard Java libraries fail to provide enough methods for

manipulation of its core classes. The Commons Lang Component provides

these extra methods.

The Commons Lang Component provides a host of helper utilities for the

java.lang API, notably String manipulation methods, basic numerical

methods, object reflection, creation and serialization, and System

properties. Additionally it contains an inheritable enum type, an

exception structure that supports multiple types of nested-Exceptions

and a series of utilities dedicated to help with building methods, such

as hashCode, toString and equals.

With version of commons-lang 3.x, developers decided to change API and

therefore created differently named artifact and jar files. This is

the new version, while apache-commons-lang is the compatibility

package.
