CVE-2012-1592 struts2: xsltResult local code execution flaw
Last modified: 2012-03-28 19:09:00 EDT
It was reported [1] that Apache Struts2 suffers from a local code execution flaw when processing malformed XSLT files. This could allow a malicious remote user able to upload an arbitrary file and then view it (such as a graphics file), and execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the struts2 process user. NOTE: During normal usage, applications that receive untrusted input/files from remote users are expected to properly sanity-check the file and, if nothing else, not immediately make the file uploaded by an untrusted user, available to an untrusted user, without first checking the file.

Statement: Not Vulnerable. This issue only affects struts 2, it does not affect the versions of struts as shipped with various Red Hat products.
