In Apache Log4j 2.x before 2.8.2, when using the TCP socket server or UDP socket server to receive serialized log events from another application, a specially crafted binary payload can be sent that, when deserialized, can execute arbitrary code.

The log4jinit web application in Cisco Unified Communications Manager (UCM) does not properly validate authentication, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (performance degradation) via unspecified use of this application, aka Bug ID CSCum05347.

Apache CloudStack 4.0.0-incubating and Citrix CloudPlatform (formerly Citrix CloudStack) before 3.0.6 stores sensitive information in the log4j.conf log file, which allows local users to obtain (1) the SSH private key as recorded by the createSSHKeyPair API, (2) the password of an added host as recorded by the AddHost API, or the password of an added VM as recorded by the (3) DeployVM or (4) ResetPasswordForVM API.

The Workplace (aka WP) component in IBM FileNet P8 Application Engine (P8AE) 3.5.1 before 3.5.1-010 records DEBUG messages containing user credentials in the log4j.xml file, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive information by reading this file.
