----------------------------------
Summary: Upgrade log4j to 2.25.3 due to CVEs
Key: HDDS-14366
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDDS-14366
Project: Apache Ozone
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: Rohit Kumar
{*}CVE-2025-68161{*}:
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.
This issue may allow a man-in-the-middle attacker to intercept or redirect log
traffic under the following conditions:
* The attacker is able to intercept or redirect network traffic between the
client and the log receiver.
* 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).
Users are advised to upgrade to Apache Log4j Core version 2.25.3, which
addresses this issue.
As an alternative mitigation, the Socket Appender may be configured to use a
private or restricted trust root to limit the set of trusted certificates.
CVSS Score: None (None)
