Description

Just found that commons-file-upload < 1.3.1 has a bug that can create a DOS attack .

For more information, see

I do believe commons-file-upload 1.2.2 it's been used in tapestry-upload since version 5.2 at least, or even older.

So recommended option is to update dependency to commons-file-upload-1.3.1.jar
