Log4Shell (CVE-2021-44228) is a zero-day vulnerability reported in November 2021 in Log4j, a popular Java logging framework, involving arbitrary code execution. [2] [3] The vulnerability had existed unnoticed since 2013 and was privately disclosed to the Apache Software Foundation, of which Log4j is a project, by Chen Zhaojun of Alibaba Cloud's security team on 24 November 2021.
Apache HTTP Server 2.2.15 and earlier [5] Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.0 and earlier [6] Because Slowloris exploits problems handling thousands of connections, the attack has less of an effect on servers that handle large numbers of connections well.
In Log4j 2 configurations set the status attribute to TRACE to send internal status logging output to standard out. To enable status logging before the configuration is found, use the Java VM property -Dorg.apache.logging.log4j.simplelog.StatusLogger.level=trace. In Log4j 1, use the Java VM property -Dlog4j.debug.
A malicious DHCP server could provide, in one of these options, a string crafted to execute code on a vulnerable workstation or laptop. [13] Qmail server When using Bash to process email messages (e.g. through .forward or qmail-alias piping), the qmail mail server passes external input through in a way that can exploit a vulnerable version of Bash.
HTTP request smuggling (HRS) is a security exploit on the HTTP protocol that takes advantage of an inconsistency between the interpretation of Content-Length and Transfer-Encoding headers between HTTP server implementations in an HTTP proxy server chain. [1] [2] It was first documented in 2005 by Linhart et al. [3]
HTTP Parameter Pollution (HPP) is a web application vulnerability exploited by injecting encoded query string delimiters in already existing parameters.The vulnerability occurs if user input is not correctly encoded for output by a web application. [1]
The Apache HTTP Server (/ ə ˈ p æ tʃ i / ə-PATCH-ee) is a free and open-source cross-platform web server, released under the terms of Apache License 2.0. It is developed and maintained by a community of developers under the auspices of the Apache Software Foundation .
The exploit remains dormant unless a specific third-party patch of the SSH server is used. Under the right circumstances this interference could potentially enable a malicious actor to break sshd authentication and gain unauthorized access to the entire system remotely. [ 13 ]
