- 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. This issue was fixed in Log4j 2.17.0
and 2.12.3. (CVE-2021-45105)
