Description Jan Lieskovsky 2012-03-05 09:35:12 EST

Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures assigned an identifier CVE-2012-0838 to the following vulnerability:

Apache Struts 2 before 2.2.3.1 evaluates a string as an OGNL expression during the handling of a conversion error, which allows remote attackers to modify run-time data values, and consequently execute arbitrary code, via invalid input to a field.
