Document Subtype: Security Bulletin Document ID: hpesbgn04215en_us Last Updated: 2022-01-15 Release Date: 2021-12-14 Document Version: 12 Potential Security Impact: Remote: Arbitrary Code Execution, Code Execution, Denial of Service (DoS) Source: Hewlett Packard Enterprise, HPE Product Security Response Team VULNERABILITY SUMMARY CVE-2021-44228 Apache Log4j2 2.0-beta9 through 2.12.1 and 2.13.0 through 2.15.0 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 log4j 2.15.0, this behavior has been disabled by default. From version 2.16.0, this functionality has been completely removed. Note that this vulnerability is specific to log4j-core and does not affect log4net, log4cxx, or other Apache Logging Services projects. CVE-2021-45046 A Remote Code Execution vulnerability was found in the original fix for CVE-2021-44228. CVE-2021-4104 JMSAppender in Log4j 1.2 is vulnerable to deserialization of untrusted data when the attacker has write access to the Log4j configuration. The attacker can provide TopicBindingName and TopicConnectionFactoryBindingName configurations causing JMSAppender to perform JNDI requests that result in remote code execution in a similar fashion to CVE-2021-44228. Note this issue only affects Log4j 1.2 when specifically configured to use JMSAppender, which is not the default. Apache Log4j 1.2 reached end of life in August 2015. CVE-2021-45105 Apache Log4j2 versions 2.0-alpha1 through 2.16.0 (excluding 2.12.3) did not protect from uncontrolled recursion from self-referential lookups. This allows an attacker with control over Thread Context Map data to cause a denial of service when a crafted string is interpreted. CVE-2021-44832 Apache Log4j2 versions 2.0-beta7 through 2.17.0 (excluding security fix releases 2.3.2 and 2.12.4) are vulnerable to a remote code execution (RCE) attack when a configuration uses a JDBC Appender with a JNDI LDAP data source URI when an attacker has control of the target LDAP server. Please see the following link for more information: https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/ The impacted products listed below are vulnerable to one or more CVEs listed above.
