Hi,

the following vulnerability was published for libspring-java.

CVE-2016-9878[0]:
Directory Traversal in the Spring Framework ResourceServlet

Interesting, is that the code in
./spring-webmvc/src/main/java/org/springframework/web/servlet/ResourceServlet.java
looks quite more similar to the code-fix as for the 3.2.x branch.

If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
