Security Information / 2021 / Security Information -- DSA-5020-1 apache-log4j2


DEBIAN SECURITY ADVISORY


DSA-5020-1 APACHE-LOG4J2 -- SECURITY UPDATE

Date Reported: 11 Dec 2021 Affected Packages: apache-log4j2 Vulnerable: Yes
Security database references: In the Debian bugtracking system: Bug 959450, Bug
1001478.
In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2021-44228, CVE-2020-9488.
More information:

Chen Zhaojun of Alibaba Cloud Security Team discovered a critical security
vulnerability in Apache Log4j, a popular Logging Framework for Java. JNDI
features used in configuration, log messages, and parameters do not protect
against attacker controlled LDAP and other JNDI related endpoints. An attacker
who can control log messages or log message parameters can execute arbitrary
code loaded from LDAP servers when message lookup substitution is enabled. From
version 2.15.0, this behavior has been disabled by default.

This update also fixes CVE-2020-9488 in the oldstable distribution (buster).
Improper validation of certificate with host mismatch in Apache Log4j SMTP
appender. This could allow an SMTPS connection to be intercepted by a
man-in-the-middle attack which could leak any log messages sent through that
appender.

For the oldstable distribution (buster), this problem has been fixed in version
2.15.0-1~deb10u1.

For the stable distribution (bullseye), this problem has been fixed in version
2.15.0-1~deb11u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your apache-log4j2 packages.

tracker page at: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/apache-log4j2
