The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 21.04 / 21.10 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5222-1 advisory.

  • 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. This issue is fixed by limiting JNDI data source names to the java protocol in Log4j2 versions 2.17.1, 2.12.4, and 2.3.2.
    (CVE-2021-44832)

  • Apache Log4j2 versions 2.0-alpha1 through 2.16.0 (excluding 2.12.3 and 2.3.1) 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, 2.12.3, and 2.3.1. (CVE-2021-45105)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
