David Jorm discovered that the Apache Standard Taglibs incorrectly handled external XML entities. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code or perform other external XML entity attacks.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
