Included in Log4j 1.2, a logging library for Java, is a SocketServer class that is vulnerable to deserialization of untrusted data which can be exploited to remotely execute arbitrary code when combined with a deserialization gadget when listening to untrusted network traffic for log data.



For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version 1.2.16-3+deb7u1.
