NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream log4j12 package and not the log4j12 package as distributed by RHEL.

Improper validation of certificate with host mismatch in Apache Log4j SMTP appender. This could allow an SMTPS connection to be intercepted by a man-in-the-middle attack which could leak any log messages sent through that appender. Fixed in Apache Log4j 2.12.3 and 2.13.1
