+#### 15 August 2019 - Security Advice: Announcing corrected affected version
ranges in historic Apache Struts security bulletins and CVE entries {#a20190815}
+
+The Apache Struts Security team would like to announce that a number of
historic [Struts Security
Bulletins](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WW/Security+Bulletin)
and related CVE database entries contained incorrect affected release version
ranges.
+
+The issue was reported by Christopher Fearon and the Black Duck Research Team
within the Synopsys Cybersecurity Research Center. The reporting entity
conducted thorough investigations on this matter, leading to a report to the
Apache Struts Security Team. The Apache Struts Security Team worked with the
reporters to cross-check said issues and map them to affected Apache Struts
General Availability (GA) releases.
+
+This effort led to the issue of Struts Security Bulletin S2-058, referencing
15 historic Struts Security Bulletins and [respective CVE
entries](https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelist/pull/2423/files) that have been
updated to reflect corrections in affected GA version ranges as well as minimum
GA versions to contain appropriate fixes for the issues at hand.
+
+The full Security Bulletin can be found here:
+
+[Apache Struts Security Buletin
S2-058](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WW/S2-058)
+
+The Struts Security Team stresses that while the reporters reference more
affected issues and resulting affected version ranges, the Struts Security
Bulletins only cover GA versions designated for production use. This led to
less corrected Security Bulletins and CVE entries compared to the number of
covered issues in the original report.
+
+It is very important to understand that while the individual listed bulletins
contain updated minimum fix versions, it is strongly recommended to update to
the version recommended by the latest Security Bulletin, which is
[S2-057](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WW/S2-057) by the time of
this announcement. Following this advice, the recommended minimum Struts
versions to operate in production are Struts 2.3.35 or Struts 2.5.17.
+
+The Apache Struts Security Team would like to thank the reporters for their
efforts and their practice of responsible disclosure, as well as their help
while investigating the report and coordinating public disclosure.
