assigned the name CVE-2012-0393 to this issue.
Note: Apache struts 2.3.4 addresses the following issues as well:
CVE-2011-5057, CVE-2012-0391, CVE-2012-0392, CVE-2012-0394. It
was found that these do not affect vCOps.
VMware would like to thank Alexander Minozhenko from ERPScan for
reporting this issue to us.
