Error description

  • Vulnerabilities have been found in the Apache Log4j library:
    
    - CVE-2021-4104:
    A flaw was found in the Java logging library Apache Log4j in
    version 1.x. JMSAppender in Log4j 1.x is vulnerable to
    deserialization of untrusted data. This allows a remote attacker
     to execute code on the server if the deployed application is
    configured to use JMSAppender and to the attacker's JMS Broker.
    
    - CVE-2021-45046:
    A flaw was found in the Apache Log4j logging library in versions
     from 2.0.0 and before 2.16.0. A remote attacker with control
    over Thread Context Map (MDC) input data could craft malicious
    input using a JNDI Lookup pattern resulting in remote code
    execution (RCE) in a limited number of environments.
