    Summary: Updated resteasy package fix CVE-2014-3490

    Details: Updated resteasy packages fixes security vulnerability: It was found that the fix for CVE-2012-0818 was incomplete: external parameter entities were not disabled when the resteasy.document.expand.entity.references parameter was set to false. A remote attacker able to send XML requests to a RESTEasy endpoint could use this flaw to read files accessible to the user running the application server, and potentially perform other more advanced XXE attacks (CVE-2014-3490).
