The Struts 2.3.14.3 test build is now available. It includes the latest security patches which fix possible vulnerabilities: * actions' names whitelisting was introduced to prevent OGNL evaluation as a side effect of wildcard matching * double evaluation of passed expression was removed from OgnlTextParser which is used by TextParseUtil.translateVariables
For details and the rationale behind these changes, please consult the corresponding security bulletin: * https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WW/S2-015 Please note that currently these bulletins and the release notes are only visible to logged-in users with the struts-committer role. This is a needed requirement to control disclosure until the actual release is announced. Release notes: * [https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/displa/WW/Version+Notes+2.3.14.3] Distribution: * [http://people.apache.org/builds/struts/2.3.14.3/] Maven 2 staging repository: * [https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/staging/] Once you have had a chance to review the test build, please respond with a vote on its quality: [ ] Leave at test build [ ] Alpha [ ] Beta [ ] General Availability (GA) Everyone who has tested the build is invited to vote. Votes by PMC members are considered binding. A vote passes if there are at least three binding +1s and more +1s than -1s. This is a "fast-track" release vote. If we have a positive vote after 24 hours (at least three binding +1s and more +1s than -1s), the release may be submitted for mirroring and announced to the usual channels. The website download link will include the mirroring timestamp parameter [1], which limits the selection of mirrors to those that have been refreshed since the indicated time and date. (After 24 hours, we *must* remove the timestamp parameter from the website link, to avoid unnecessary server load.) In the case of a fast-track release, the email announcement will not link directly to <download.cgi>, but to <downloads.html>, so that we can control use of the timestamp parameter.
