Logo. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) system provides a reference method for publicly known information-security vulnerabilities and exposures. [1] The United States' National Cybersecurity FFRDC, operated by The MITRE Corporation, maintains the system, with funding from the US National Cyber Security Division of the US Department of Homeland Security.

The feature causing the vulnerability could be disabled with a configuration setting, which had been removed [51] in Log4j version 2.15.0-rc1 (officially released on December 6, 2021, three days before the vulnerability was published), and replaced by various settings restricting remote lookups, thereby mitigating the vulnerability.
A file inclusion vulnerability is a type of web vulnerability that is most commonly found to affect web applications that rely on a scripting run time.This issue is caused when an application builds a path to executable code using an attacker-controlled variable in a way that allows the attacker to control which file is executed at run time.
This is used for update or service pack information. Sometimes referred to as "point releases" or minor versions. The technical difference between version and update will be different for certain vendors and products.
In December 2005, it was announced that WebWork 2.2 was adopted as Apache Struts 2, which reached its first full release in February 2007. [ 2 ] Struts 2 has a history of critical security bugs, [ 3 ] many tied to its use of OGNL technology; [ 4 ] some vulnerabilities can lead to arbitrary code execution .
A remote code execution vulnerability affecting certain versions of Spring Framework was published in April 2022 under CVE-2022-22965. It was given the name Spring4Shell in reference to the recent Log4Shell vulnerability, both having similar proofs-of-concept in which attackers could on vulnerable machines, gain shell access [ 129 ] or even ...
Vulnerabilities can only be exploited when they are active-the software in which they are embedded is actively running on the system. [41] Before the code containing the vulnerability is configured to run on the system, it is considered a carrier. [42] Dormant vulnerabilities can run, but are not currently running.
A potential local root vulnerability [27] has been found in Linux 2.2, 2.4, and 2.6, and Linux Kernel developers have corrected the issue in 2.4 and 2.6; distributors are expected to offer the patches soon, for the benefit of those users who do not compile their own kernels.
