RedHat: RHSA-2017-3399:01 Important: Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application
Summary

applications based on the JBoss Application Server.
This asynchronous patch is a security update for log4j package in Red Hat
JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 5.2.0.
Security Fix(es):
* It was found that when using remote logging with log4j socket server the
log4j server would deserialize any log event received via TCP or UDP. An

during deserialization, would execute arbitrary code in the context of the
logger application. (CVE-2017-5645)
