Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.117947
Category:Denial of Service
Title:ILIAS 6.x <= 6.14, 7.x < 7.6 ilServer Log4j DoS Vulnerability
Summary:The ilServer Java component of ILIAS is using a version of the; Apache Log4j library which is prone to a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability.
Description:Summary:
The ilServer Java component of ILIAS is using a version of the
Apache Log4j library which is prone to a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability.

Vulnerability Insight:
The following flaw exists in the Log4j library used by the
ilServer component:

Apache Log4j2 did not protect from uncontrolled recursion from self-referential lookups. When the
logging configuration uses a non-default Pattern Layout with a Context Lookup (for example,
$${ctx:loginId}), attackers with control over Thread Context Map (MDC) input data can craft
malicious input data that contains a recursive lookup, resulting in a StackOverflowError that will
terminate the process.

Affected Software/OS:
The ilServer Java component in ILIAS versions 6.x through 6.14
and 7.x prior to 7.6.

Note: The 5.x branch wasn't affected by this flaw because the release 5.4.26 has updated the Log4j
version from 1.2.15 directly to 2.17.0.

Solution:
Update to version 7.6 or later.

Notes:

- This release updated the Log4j version used in the ilServer component from 2.16.0 to 2.17.0

- The 6.x branch hasn't received an update yet

CVSS Score:
4.3
