  "details" : [ "The Socket Appender in Apache Log4j Core versions 2.0-beta9 through 2.25.2 does not perform TLS hostname verification of the peer certificate, even when the  verifyHostName https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/appenders/network.html#SslConfiguration-attr-verifyHostName  configuration attribute or the  log4j2.sslVerifyHostName https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/systemproperties.html#log4j2.sslVerifyHostName  system property is set to true.\nThis issue may allow a man-in-the-middle attacker to intercept or redirect log traffic under the following conditions:\n*  The attacker is able to intercept or redirect network traffic between the client and the log receiver.\n*  The attacker can present a server certificate issued by a certification authority trusted by the Socket Appender’s configured trust store (or by the default Java trust store if no custom trust store is configured).\nUsers are advised to upgrade to Apache Log4j Core version 2.25.3, which addresses this issue.\nAs an alternative mitigation, the Socket Appender may be configured to use a private or restricted trust root to limit the set of trusted certificates.", "A flaw was found in Apache Log4j Core. The Socket Appender component fails to perform proper TLS (Transport Layer Security) hostname verification of peer certificates. This vulnerability allows a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacker to intercept or redirect log traffic, potentially leading to information disclosure. Exploitation requires the attacker to intercept network traffic and present a server certificate issued by a trusted certification authority." ],
  "statement" : "This vulnerability is rated Moderate for Red Hat products utilizing Apache Log4j Core versions 2.0-beta9 through 2.25.2 with the Socket Appender configured for TLS. The flaw allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to intercept or redirect log traffic due to missing TLS hostname verification, provided the attacker can intercept network traffic and present a trusted certificate.",
