Summary: Updated jackrabbit packages fix CVE-2015-1833

Details: Updated jackrabbit packages fix security vulnerability: In Apache Jackrabbit before 2.4.6, When processing a WebDAV request body containing XML, the XML parser can be instructed to read content from network resources accessible to the host, identified by URI schemes such as "http(s)" or "file". Depending on the WebDAV request, this can not only be used to trigger internal network requests, but might also be used to insert said content into the request, potentially exposing it to the attacker and others (for instance, by inserting said content in a WebDAV property value using a PROPPATCH request). See also IETF RFC 4918, Section 20.6 (CVE-2015-1833).
