CVE-2021-44832 in apache log4j
The LogPulse agent checks every host for the vulnerable version of this software, so you see where the CVE is present.
What the vulnerability is
Apache Log4j2 versions 2.0-beta7 through 2.17.0 (excluding security fix releases 2.3.2 and 2.12.4) are vulnerable to a remote code execution (RCE) attack when a configuration uses a JDBC Appender with a JNDI LDAP data source URI when an attacker has control of the target LDAP server. This issue is fixed by limiting JNDI data source names to the java protocol in Log4j2 versions 2.17.1, 2.12.4, and 2.3.2.
Affected software: apache log4j, oracle communications diameter signaling router, oracle communications interactive session recorder, oracle primavera gateway, oracle primavera p6 enterprise project portfolio management, oracle primavera unifier, oracle retail assortment planning, oracle retail fiscal management, oracle siebel ui framework, oracle weblogic server
