RHSA-2014:0474: Important: struts security update
First published: Wed May 07 2014(Updated: )
Apache Struts is a framework for building web applications with Java.<br>It was found that the Struts 1 ActionForm object allowed access to the<br>'class' parameter, which is directly mapped to the getClass() method. A<br>remote attacker could use this flaw to manipulate the ClassLoader used by<br>an application server running Struts 1. This could lead to remote code<br>execution under certain conditions. (CVE-2014-0114)<br>All struts users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which<br>contain a backported patch to correct this issue. All running applications<br>using struts must be restarted for this update to take effect.<br>
