Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: struts security update for Red Hat Application Server

Notes

Topic
Updated Red Hat Application Server components are now available including a security update for Struts. This update has been rated as having low security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.
Details
Red Hat Application Server packages provide a J2EE Application Server and Web container as well as the underlying Java stack. A cross-site scripting flaw was found in the way Struts displays error pages. It may be possible for an attacker to construct a specially crafted URL which could fool a victim into believing they are viewing a trusted site. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project assigned the name CVE-2005-3745 to this issue. Please note that this issue does not affect Struts running on Tomcat or JOnAS, which is our supported usage of Struts. All users of Red Hat Application Server should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain Struts version 1.2.8 which is not vulnerable to this issue.

Many\npeople find this an easier way to apply updates.  To use Red Hat Network,\nlaunch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:\n\nup2date\n\nThis will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate\nRPMs being upgraded on your system.",
