CVE Request - Webproxy Portlet - cross-user cache over-hits

Hi,

Apereo (previously, Jasig) Webproxy Portlet v2 prior to v2.2.2 is bugged such that it uses too little information in 
computing cache keys. In some circumstances this results in users seeing cached content intended for and personalized 
to other users. Apereo tracks this issue as WPP-101 .

Adopters should immediately upgrade to v2.2.2, which simply removes the inappropriate caching behavior while otherwise 
remaining backwards-compatible.

Please assign a CVE-ID to this issue.
