@alexmenkov We noticed that the patch applies cleanly to JDK 17, but hasn't been backported yet. Our Java fuzzer [Jazzer](https://github.com/CodeIntelligenceTesting/jazzer) relies on class retransformation and, without this patch, is often unable to fuzz Spring applications. 

Would it be possible to backport this patch? If there is anything we can do to help let us know (we don't have contributor access).
