Fedora 22 receives a crucial Apache Struts security patch addressing an input validation flaw; see below for guidance on applying the update.
fix CVE-2015-0899

Summary

Welcome to the Struts Framework! The goal of this project is to provide

an open source framework useful in building web applications with Java

Servlet and JavaServer Pages (JSP) technology. Struts encourages

application architectures based on the Model-View-Controller (MVC)

design paradigm, colloquially known as Model 2 in discussions on various

servlet and JSP related mailing lists.

Struts includes the following primary areas of functionality:

A controller servlet that dispatches requests to appropriate Action

classes provided by the application developer.

JSP custom tag libraries, and associated support in the controller

servlet, that assists developers in creating interactive form-based

applications.

Utility classes to support XML parsing, automatic population of

JavaBeans properties based on the Java reflection APIs, and

internationalization of prompts and messages.
