Details

It was discovered that Apache Log4j 2 was vulnerable to remote code
execution (RCE) attack when configured to use a JDBC Appender with a
JNDI LDAP data source URI. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to
cause a crash, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2021-44832)

Hideki Okamoto and Guy Lederfein discovered that Apache Log4j 2 did not
protect against infinite recursion in lookup evaluation. A remote attacker
could possibly use this issue to cause Apache Log4j 2 to crash, leading to
a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
(CVE-2021-45105)
