CentOS Errata and Security Advisory CESA-2015:1695

jakarta-taglibs-standard is the Java Standard Tag Library (JSTL).
This library is used in conjunction with Tomcat and Java Server Pages
(JSP).

It was found that the Java Standard Tag Library (JSTL) allowed the
processing of untrusted XML documents to utilize external entity
references, which could access resources on the host system and,
potentially, allowing arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2015-0254)

Note: jakarta-taglibs-standard users may need to take additional steps
after applying this update. Detailed instructions on the additional steps
can be found here:
