Tracking as affected:
- SUSE:SLE-15-SP2:Update/apache-commons-configuration2  2.9.0
- openSUSE:Factory/apache-commons-configuration2        2.9.0

Comment 3 Fridrich Strba 2024-03-21 16:10:16 UTC

Upgrade to 2.10.1 is the best and straight-forward solution. Gus, please have a look. For Factory and also for SUSE:SLE-15-SP2:Update

Comment 4 Fridrich Strba 2024-03-22 10:33:46 UTC

A modified reproducer was triggering the same problem in our commons-configuration 1.10 in SLE-15-SP2. I backported the upstream fix from 2.x to 1.10 and the reproducer is happy.
So, let us add 
              SUSE:SLE-15-SP2:Update apache-commons-configuration
as affected.
I submitted the fix. Bot will tell us about its number soon.

Comment 6 Gus Kenion 2024-03-22 13:05:29 UTC

Upgraded apache-commons-configuration2 to v2.10.1.  apache-commons-configuration received backported fix; see Fridrich's previous comment.  These changes fix the issue for their respective packages.
