How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable apache-log4j2 to version 2.17.1-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream apache-log4j2 package and not the apache-log4j2 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

Apache Log4j2 versions 2.0-beta7 through 2.17.0 (excluding security fix releases 2.3.2 and 2.12.4) are vulnerable to a remote code execution (RCE) attack when a configuration uses a JDBC Appender with a JNDI LDAP data source URI when an attacker has control of the target LDAP server. This issue is fixed by limiting JNDI data source names to the java protocol in Log4j2 versions 2.17.1, 2.12.4, and 2.3.2.
