Subject: [VOTE] Release Portlet API 2.1.0 Version 1.0
Dear Jetspeed and Pluto team and community,
I have staged a release candidate for the Portlet API 2.1.0 Version
1.0project.
This release is a new version of the Portlet API, addressing a Security
CVE. We are changing one method implementation,
GenericPortlet.serveResource, to be a no-op out of the box. In 2.0, it
provided a default implementation that could serve any resource
in the web application. Having it serve resources without the programmer
actually implementing the serveResource method was
considered to be a potential security vulnerability.
From the 2.1.0 Portlet Specification:
------
PLT.2.6 Changes Introduced with Version 2.1.0
Version 2.1.0 is a maintenance release amending the description of Resource
Serving Dispatching in section PLT.5.4.5.3.
This change, along with the associated Portlet API version 2.1.0 jar file
update, closes a potential security vulnerability
associated with Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures ID CVE-2015-1926.
By default the serveResource method in the GenericPortlet class does
nothing.
However, if a portlet initialization parameter with the reserved name
“javax.portlet.automaticResourceDispatching” is set to true, the
GenericPortlet serveResource method will attempt to forward
the request to the resource ID set on the URL triggering the resource
request. If no resource ID is set, the serveResource method does nothing.
-----
Please review the release candidate of this project which is available in
the following staging repository:
https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapacheportals-1007/org/apache/portals/portlet-api_2.1.0_spec/1.0/
The source distribution is also provided through the above staging
repository:

Please vote on releasing:
Portlet API 2.1.0 Release 1.0
This Vote is open for the next 72 hours. I am putting this vote up for both
Jetspeed and Pluto committers. Please carefully review the release prior to
voting.
Please cast your vote:
[ ] +1 for Release
[ ] 0 for Don't care
[ ] -1 Don't release (do provide a reason then)
With kind regards,
David Sean Taylor
