Log4j Core versions 2.21.0 through 2.25.3 are vulnerable to log injection via CRLF sequences due to undocumented renames of security-relevant configuration attributes (CWE-117, CWE-684), affecting users of stream-based syslog services. Upgraded Log4j from 2.25.3 to 2.25.4 (GEODE-10580 #8006)
- Denial of Service Remediation: Fixed Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling in Jackson Core allowing oversized JSON documents to bypass document length limits (SNYK-JAVA-COMFASTERXMLJACKSONCORE-15907551). Upgraded Jackson from 2.18.6 to 2.21.2, annotations to 2.21 (GEODE-10576 #8003)
