------------------------------------------------------------

This is a FileUtility which allows to write bytes to a file. This can certainly 
be used wrongly in some conditions, but there is no inheritent security issue 
in this place. Especially not related to XSS (as you would not use it for web 
pages anyway).

Besides that, it would be good to do some research before dumping all those 
veracode false positives into the apache bug tracker :-/ (and 2.4 is recent)
