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 before 2.2.3.1 evaluates a string as an OGNL expression during the handling of a conversion error, which allows remote attackers to modify run-time data values, and consequently execute arbitrary code, via invalid input to a field.
