[jira] [Updated] (LANG-1284) RandomStringUtils' random method goes into an infinite loop

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1284?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Arul Nedumaran updated LANG-1284:
---------------------------------
    Description: 
The following code goes into an infinite loop.

{code}
RandomStringUtils.random(1, 0, 0, false, true, new char[]{ 'a' })
{code}

I know it doesn't make sense to pass letters=false and then a letter array, but a bug in the caller's code will make him fall into this trap.
