USN-8322-1 fixed a vulnerability in Apache Commons BeanUtils. It was discovered that for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, during the update preparation phase, a previous fix for CVE-2014-0114 and CVE-2019-10086 was incorrectly dropped. This update reintroduces the fix for CVE-2014-0114 and CVE-2019-10086. We apologize for the inconvenience. Original advisory details: It was discovered that Apache Commons BeanUtils incorrectly allowed access to the declaredClass property of Java enum objects when handling externally supplied property paths. An attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code.
