Ok, that addresses one question, but still leaves one: why is it being recommended to update File Upload NOW due to a possible DoS, when Struts has been using a version of File Upload with no documented DoS issue for the last six releases???
Or put another way, Struts 2.3.35 uses File Upload 1.3.2. File Upload 1.3.2 currently has no documented DoS issue. Now, you're saying to update to File Upload 1.3.3 to fix a DoS issue.
