New in XpoLog Center 7.8069 (Dec 26, 2021)
- Background:
- Apache Log4j high vulnerability (CVE-2021-45105) was recently published. Apache announced that Apache Log4j2 versions 2.0-alpha1 through 2.16.0, excluding 2.12.3, did not protect from uncontrolled recursion from self-referential lookups. When the logging configuration uses a non-default Pattern Layout with a Context Lookup (for example, $${ctx:loginId}), attackers with control over Thread Context Map (MDC) input data can craft malicious input data that contains a recursive lookup, resulting in a StackOverflowError that will terminate the process. This is also known as a DOS (Denial of Service) attack.
- The Apache Log4j 2 is an open-source Java package that allows developers to log activity within applications. More information is available here.
- XPLG product suite impact:
- Recently we have published patch 8067 that migrates all used Log4j libraries within XPLG to Apache Log4j2 version 2.16.0.
- Given Apache latest announcement, patch 8069 is now available to migrate all used libraries to Apache Log4j2 version 2.17.0.

- XPLG LogX automatically identifies and alerts on complex insights found in log data. LogX was fine-tuned for logs, observability, security, apps, and IT data based on comprehensive research and algorithmic breakthrough. LogX create a unique profile for each log event, this profile is then aggregated into a new data model with systems behavior profiles, complex risk patterns, and more. LogX detects anomalies and clustering Insight within those new data models. LogX meets today's Apps, DevOps, IT, CI/CD, and Cloud architecture which are subject to frequent changes with this new ML/AI paradigm.
