Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Apache Struts versions 2.0.0 through 2.3.24.1

Description The issue is related to improper caching of method references when Apache Struts is used with OGNL before version 3.0.12. This allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, which can block access to a web site, via unspecified vectors.

Recommendations For Apache Struts versions 2.0.0 through 2.3.24.1, consider updating OGNL to version 3.0.12 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to the affected OGNL functionality until the issue is resolved.
