DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Apache Struts, which can
be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
1) An input sanitisation error can be exploited to inject and execute
arbitrary Java code if a conversion error is encountered.
This vulnerability is related to:
SA47176
2) The CookieInterceptor class does not properly restrict access to
certain static methods while handling cookie names and can be
exploited to execute arbitrary commands.
3) Certain unspecified input is not properly sanitised by the
ParameterInterceptor before being used to create files. This can be
exploited to create or overwrite arbitrary files via directory
traversal attacks.
The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 2.3.1.1.
SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.3.1.1.
PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Bruce Phillips.
