----------------------------------------

             Summary: Numerical overflow in BurstFilter not handled correctly
                 Key: LOG4J2-980
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-980
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Filters
    Affects Versions: 2.2
            Reporter: Mikhail Mazurskiy
            Priority: Trivial


{{org.apache.logging.log4j.core.filter.BurstFilter.LogDelay#compareTo}} is implemented with mistake - it does not account for numerical overflow (negative values). I.e. [System.nanoTime() JavaDocs|http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/System.html#nanoTime--] say:

{quote}
To compare two nanoTime values

 long t0 = System.nanoTime();
 ...
 long t1 = System.nanoTime();
one should use t1 - t0 < 0, not t1 < t0, because of the possibility of numerical overflow.
{quote}
but the mentioned method compares values directly.
