Package        : apache-log4j1.2
CVE ID         : CVE-2019-17571
Debian Bug     : 947124

It was discovered that the SocketServer class included in
apache-log4j1.2, a logging library for java, is vulnerable to

in version 1.2.17-7+deb9u1.

For the stable distribution (buster), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.2.17-8+deb10u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your apache-log4j1.2 packages.
