The Apache Struts group is pleased to announce that Struts 2.3.16.2 is

our highest quality grade.

enterprise-ready Java web applications. The framework is designed to
streamline the full development cycle, from building, to deploying, to
maintaining applications over time.
This release includes important security fixes:
- S2-021 - Improves excluded params to avoid ClassLoader manipulation
via ParametersInterceptor
- S2-021 - Adds excluded params to CookieInterceptor to avoid
ClassLoader manipulation when the interceptors is configured to accept
all cookie names (wildcard matching via "*")
* http://struts.apache.org/release/2.3.x/docs/s2-021.html
All developers are strongly advised to update existing Struts 2
applications to Struts 2.3.16.2
Struts 2.3.16.2 is available in a full distribution, or as separate
library, source, example and documentation distributions, from the
releases page.
* http://struts.apache.org/download.cgi#struts23162
The release is also available from the central Maven repository under
Group ID "org.apache.struts".
The 2.3.x series of the Apache Struts framework has a minimum
requirement of the following specification versions:
* Java Servlet 2.4 and JavaServer Pages (JSP) 2.0
* Java 2 Standard Platform Edition (J2SE) 5
The release notes are available online at:
* http://struts.apache.org/release/2.3.x/docs/version-notes-23162.html

Basically yes, other jars didn't change as well (there were rebuild to
match version, that's all). This is the main purpose of the fast-track
release - change as little as possible to solve the security
vulnerability (no new features, no bugs fixed, etc).

Hello,
For users who have a functioning 2.3.16.1 site, is it sufficient to copy in
the struts-core and xwork-core jar files, in order to complete the upgrade
to 2.3.16.2? It seems that way from looking at the git logs.
Thanks,
Dave
