The Struts 2.3.29 test build is now available. It includes the latest security patch which fixes few possible vulnerabilities: - Action name clean up is error prone - Forced double OGNL evaluation, when evaluated on raw user input in tag attributes, may lead to remote code execution (similar to S2-029) - Remote Code Execution can be performed when using REST Plugin. - It is possible to bypass token validation and perform a CSRF attack - Getter as action method leads to security bypass - Input validation bypass using existing default action method. - Possible DoS attack when using URLValidator
For details and the rationale behind these changes, please consult the corresponding security bulletins: * https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WW/S2-035 * https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WW/S2-036 * https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WW/S2-037 * https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WW/S2-038 * https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WW/S2-039 * https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WW/S2-040 * https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WW/S2-041 Except the above, few other issues were resolved as well: [WW-4608] - Json result type breaks [WW-4618] - MessageStorePreResultListener doesn't store messages for 3rd-party RedirectResult subclasses [WW-4622] - [struts2-tiles-plugin] [2.3.28] [StrutsWildcardServletTilesApplicationContext] getRealPath [WW-4623] - Multiple tiles.xml in web.xml [WW-4624] - New Tiles version can not find tiles*.xml files in sub-directories [WW-4626] - EmailValidator flags .cat emails as invalid [WW-4627] - Struts2 JSON Plugin: messages in fieldsErrors are serialized twice since jdk1.7_80 [WW-4629] - Tile definition Inheritance/overriding is broken in Struts2 tiles plugin 2.3.28+ [WW-4630] - <s:submit> generates a value attribute for type=image which violates W3C [WW-4633] - ClassCastException while generating report using Struts 2.3.28 and jasperreports 4.5.1 Release notes: * https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WW/Version+Notes+2.3.29 Distribution: * https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/struts/2.3.29/ Maven 2 staging repository: * https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/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.
