CVE-2021-45105: Apache Log4j StrSubstitutor Uncontrolled Recursion Denial-of-Service Vulnerability

First published: Sat Dec 18 2021(Updated: )

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.

Remedy

For Log4j 2 versions up to and including 2.16.0, this flaw can be mitigated by: - In PatternLayout in the Log4j logging configuration, replace Context Lookups like ${ctx:loginId} or $${ctx:loginId} with Thread Context Map patterns (%X, %mdc, or %MDC) like %X{loginId}. - Otherwise, in the Log4j logging configuration, remove references to Context Lookups like ${ctx:loginId} or $${ctx:loginId} where they originate from sources external to the application such as HTTP headers or user input.
