It was found that the fix to address CVE-2021-44228 in Apache Log4j 2.15.0
was incomplete in certain non-default configurations. This could allows
attackers with control over Thread Context Map (MDC) input data when the
logging configuration uses a non-default Pattern Layout with either a
Context Lookup (for example, $${ctx:loginId}) or a Thread Context Map
pattern (%X, %mdc, or %MDC) to craft malicious input data using a JNDI
Lookup pattern resulting in an information leak and remote code execution
in some environments and local code execution in all environments. Log4j
2.16.0 (Java 8) and 2.12.2 (Java 7) fix this issue by removing support for
message lookup patterns and disabling JNDI functionality by default.
