Summary
The remote host is missing an update for the 'apache-log4j2' package(s) announced via the DSA-5024-1 advisory.
Insight
Insight
It was found that Apache Log4j2, a Logging Framework for Java, did not protect from uncontrolled recursion from self-referential lookups. When the logging configuration uses a non-default Pattern Layout with a Context Lookup (for example, $${ctx:loginId}), attackers with control over Thread Context Map (MDC) input data can craft malicious input data that contains a recursive lookup, resulting in a denial of service.
Affected Software
