Hello,

I believe Roller-5.0.0 is bundled with:
Struts-2.1.1
Spring-2.5.6

There are some security vulnerabilities known in these versions:

http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/s2-006.html
http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/s2-007.html
http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/s2-008.html

http://www.springsource.com/security/spring-framework

And some of them are marked as serious.


Could you please explain me if these vulnerabilities have any chance to
be exploited in Roller? Unfortunatelly I am not a programmer, and can
not deduce it from source code.

Would you be so nice to check btw if Roller-4.0.1, bundled with
Struts-2.0.9 (which has even more security vulnerabilities), is also
endangered? The most disturbing is

http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/s2-005.html

which I believe allows among others for unrestricted static java code
execution (for example with java.lang.Runtime exec()) with just single
crafted URL.


Do you follow any security procedures of upgrading external
libraries/frameworks? Do you issue any kind of Security Bulettin in such
cases?



best regards
Slawomir Jasek
