Security Vulnerabilities with GWT

Hi All,

Security Vulnerability have been detected in gwt-dev.jar & gwt-servlet.jar(in release 2.8.2) & are reported by Dependency checker tool.

Below are the details -

Gwt-dev.jar -

1.1 Vulnerable version of jetty library(current version-- 9.2.14, available version -9.2.27+ )

1.2 Vulnerable version of commons-collections(current version - 3.2.1)

1.3 Vulnerable version of org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient(current version - 4.3.1)

1.4 Vulnerable version of Google Protobuf(current version - 2.5.0, available version - 3.4.0)

1.5  Vulnerable version of htmlunit ( current version - 2.19 , available version- 2.37)

Gwt-servlet.jar -

        1.1 Vulnerable version of Google Protobuf(current version - 2.5.0, available version - 3.4.0)

Given above vulnerabilities -

1. Are those security issues addressed in latest 2.9.0 release?

2. If no, is there a plan to include them in any future release say 3.x?

3. As we know that gwt-dev.jar is used for development purpose & can be flagged as false positive, still are there any attack surfaces exists?
