Until a fix is available, avoid processing untrusted class files with the affected ASM versions.

Description

OW2 ASM versions before 9.11 contain a vulnerability in the Analyzer.analyze() method that can lead to excessive resource consumption. Crafted class files analyzed through BasicVerifier, SimpleVerifier, or SourceInterpreter can trigger unbounded memory and CPU usage, resulting in denial of service. This affects specific older versions of ASM and has a medium severity rating.
