NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libstruts1.2-java package and not the libstruts1.2-java package as distributed by Ubuntu.

Apache Struts 2.x before 2.3.29 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a "%{}" sequence in a tag attribute, aka forced double OGNL evaluation. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2016-0785.
