It looks not affected to me:

https://github.com/apache/jackrabbit/commit/1d6cb3d0fcc8d51980b90ddcf94122d3e4add83e

$ jar tf /usr/share/java/jackrabbit-webdav.jar | grep DOMWalker
$ jar tf /usr/share/java/jackrabbit-webdav.jar | grep PrivilegeXmlHandler
$

Could a Java Maintainer confirm that I am not missing anything here?

Thanks
Adrian
