NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream log4j-cve-2021-44228-hotpatch package and not the log4j-cve-2021-44228-hotpatch package as distributed by Amazon-Linux. See How to fix? for Amazon-Linux:2 relevant fixed versions and status.

Incomplete fix for CVE-2021-3100. The Apache Log4j hotpatch package starting with log4j-cve-2021-44228-hotpatch-1.1-16 will now explicitly mimic the Linux capabilities and cgroups of the target Java process that the hotpatch is applied to.
