Apache Struts Vulnerability - CVE-2017-9791

Hi All,

Can someone please confirm if Apache 2.4.10 is vulnerable to the CVE-2017-9791. 

We came to know that Apache which is having Apache Struts version 2.3.x with Struts 1 plugin and Struts 1 action is highly vulnerable . If exploited, this vulnerability would allow a remote code execution attack. 

I tired checking in the MANIFEST.MF file, where is the implementation version shows v.1.1. how to resolve this issue, can we upgrade the struts? Thank you.

Regards,
Krishna

but you still need a Servlet container, e.g. Tomcat or Jetty or other
to run a Struts based app.

As you already did, by checking the MANIFEST file which says you are
using Struts 1.1

Sorry, I might have confused it.

I was referring to the Apache Webserver 2.4.10 running in our environment. 

Can you please let me know how to check the current Struts version I'm using.

Regards,
Krishna

There is no such version of Struts -> http://struts.apache.org/downloads.html

Hi Lukasz,

Thanks for the prompt response. 

I was referring to Apache version we have i.e., 2.4.10. 

I'm not sure how to check the struts version we are having.  As you mentioned 2.5.x series is not affected where and how to check this version on server, I tried googling these issues but it was of very little help.

I was also trying to check for the other vulnerabilities that are present in 1.1 version. Once again thanks for the help.

Regards,
Krishna

I assume you meant 2.5.10 as there is no such version as 2.4.10. And as stated in the description 2.5.x series isn't affected as it doesn't ship with the Struts 1 plugin, only Struts 2.3.x can be affected

http://struts.apache.org/docs/s2-048.html

Looks like you are running the previous version of Struts, version 1.1 which isn't affected by the vulnerability (but there are other vulnerabilities which affect this version).
