log4j:log4j@1.2.17 vulnerabilities

log4j:log4j is a 1.x branch of the Apache Log4j project.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS). When using the Chainsaw or SocketAppender components with Log4j 1.x on JRE less than 1.7, an attacker that manages to cause a logging entry involving a specially-crafted, deeply nested hashmap or hashtable (depending on which logging component is in use) to be processed could exhaust the available memory in the virtual machine and achieve denial of service when the object is deserialized.

This issue affects Apache Log4j before 2. Affected users are recommended to update to Log4j 2.x org.apache.logging.log4j/log4j-core.

NOTE: This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer.

There is no fixed version for log4j:log4j.

log4j:log4j is a 1.x branch of the Apache Log4j project.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Deserialization of Untrusted Data. JMSSink in all versions of Log4j 1.x is vulnerable to deserialization of untrusted data when the attacker has write access to the Log4j configuration or if the configuration references an LDAP service the attacker has access to. The attacker can provide a TopicConnectionFactoryBindingName configuration causing JMSSink to perform JNDI requests that result in remote code execution in a similar fashion to CVE-2021-4104.

Note: this issue only affects Log4j 1.x when specifically configured to use JMSSink, which is not the default.

Apache Log4j 1.2 reached end of life in August 2015. Users should upgrade to Log4j 2 as it addresses numerous other issues from the previous versions.

There is no fixed version for log4j:log4j.

log4j:log4j is a 1.x branch of the Apache Log4j project.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Deserialization of Untrusted Data. CVE-2020-9493 identified a deserialization issue that was present in Apache Chainsaw. Prior to Chainsaw V2.0 Chainsaw was a component of Apache Log4j 1.2.x where the same issue exists.

There is no fixed version for log4j:log4j.

log4j:log4j is a 1.x branch of the Apache Log4j project.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to SQL Injection. By design, the JDBCAppender in Log4j 1.2.x accepts an SQL statement as a configuration parameter where the values to be inserted are converters from PatternLayout. The message converter, %m, is likely to always be included. This allows attackers to manipulate the SQL by entering crafted strings into input fields or headers of an application that are logged allowing unintended SQL queries to be executed.

Note: this issue only affects Log4j 1.x when specifically configured to use the JDBCAppender, which is not the default.

Apache Log4j 1.2 reached end of life in August 2015. Users should upgrade to Log4j 2 as it addresses numerous other issues from the previous versions. Beginning in version 2.0-beta8, the JDBCAppender was re-introduced with proper support for parameterized SQL queries and further customization over the columns written to in logs.

There is no fixed version for log4j:log4j.

log4j:log4j is a 1.x branch of the Apache Log4j project.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution.
Note: Even though this vulnerability appears to be related to the log4j 2.x vulnerability, the 1.x branch of the module requires an attacker to have access to modify configurations to be exploitable, which is rarely possible.

In order to leverage this vulnerability the following conditions must be met:

1. The application has enabled JMSAppender (or a class that extends JMSAppender)
2. The attacker has access to directly modify the TopicBindingName or TopicConnectionFactoryBindingName configuration variables - which is an unlikely scenario

If these conditions are met, log4j 1.x allows a lookup feature that does not protect against attacker-controlled LDAP and other JNDI related endpoints. Therefore, an attacker with access to the aforementioned configuration variables is able to execute arbitrary code when loaded from an LDAP server.

There is no fixed version for log4j:log4j.

log4j:log4j is a 1.x branch of the Apache Log4j project.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Deserialization of Untrusted Data. Included in Log4j 1.2 is a SocketServer class that is vulnerable to deserialization of untrusted data which can be exploited to remotely execute arbitrary code when combined with a deserialization gadget when listening to untrusted network traffic for log data.

There is no fixed version for log4j:log4j.

log4j:log4j is a 1.x branch of the Apache Log4j project.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Man-in-the-Middle (MitM). 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.

There is no fixed version for log4j:log4j.
