The remote host is missing an update for the 'jakarta-taglibs-standard' package(s) announced via the ALAS-2015-595 advisory. 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. Please install the updated package(s)
