Package : apache-log4j2
CVE ID : CVE-2021-45046
Debian Bug : 1001729

It was found that the fix to address CVE-2021-44228 in Apache Log4j, a Logging
Framework for Java, was incomplete in certain non-default configurations. This
could allow attackers with control over Thread Context Map (MDC) input data
when the logging configuration uses a non-default Pattern Layout with either a
Context Lookup (for example, $${ctx:loginId}) or a Thread Context Map pattern
(%X, %mdc, or %MDC) to craft malicious input data using a JNDI Lookup pattern
resulting in a denial of service (DOS) attack.

For the oldstable distribution (buster), this problem has been fixed
in version 2.16.0-1~deb10u1.

For the stable distribution (bullseye), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.16.0-1~deb11u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your apache-log4j2 packages.
