Package        : log4cxx
Version        : 0.11.0-2+deb11u1
CVE ID         : CVE-2025-54812 CVE-2025-54813
Debian Bug     : 1111879 1111881

Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in log4cxx, a logging library
for C++ that is compatible with the JAVA log4j framework.

CVE-2025-54812

    When using HTMLLayout, logger names are not properly escaped when
    writing out to the HTML file. If untrusted data is used to retrieve
    the name of a logger, an attacker could theoretically inject HTML or
    Javascript in order to hide information from logs or steal data from
    the user.

CVE-2025-54813

    When using JSONLayout, not all payload bytes are properly escaped.
    If an attacker-supplied message contains certain non-printable
    characters, these will be passed along in the message and written out
    as part of the JSON message. This may prevent applications that
    consume these logs from correctly interpreting the information within
    them.

For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version
0.11.0-2+deb11u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your log4cxx packages.
