3. Problem Description

   a. The Apache Struts library is updated to version 2.3.16.2 to 
      address multiple security issues.

      The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
      has assigned the names CVE-2014-0050, CVE-2014-0094, and
      CVE-2014-0112 to these issues. 

      CVE-2014-0112 may lead to remote code execution. This issue was 
      found to be only partially addressed in CVE-2014-0094.

      CVE-2014-0050 may lead to a denial of service condition.

      vCenter Operations Management Suite (vCOps) is affected by both 
      CVE-2014-0112 and CVE-2014-0050. Exploitation of CVE-2014-0112
      may lead to remote code execution without authentication.

      by CVE-2014-0112.
