Sebb commented on LANG-805:
---------------------------
The code has already been fixed.
Note that start == 0 and end == 0 is specifically allowed as a special case.
> RandomStringUtils.random(count, 0, 0, false, false, universe, random) always
> throws java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

> In commons-lang 2.6 line 250 :
> {code}ch = chars[random.nextInt(gap) + start];{code}
> -This line of code takes a random int to fetch a char in the _chars_ array
> regardless of its size.-
> -(Besides _start_ is useless here)-
> -Fixed version would be :-
> {code}//ch = chars[random.nextInt(gap)%chars.length];{code}
> When user pass 0 as _end_ or when the array is not null but empty this line
> ends up with an exception
