[jira] [Commented] (LOG4J2-149) SMTPManager buffer access not synchronized; can result in empty emails

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-149?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13552667#comment-13552667 ]

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

BTW, this issue is *not* hypothetical - we experienced this twice today on a highly-threaded component of our software.

> If multiple error events are logged against the same SMTPAppender/Manager at the same time, one email will contain both error messages, while the second will be empty (no events).
> The original SMTPAppender patch included synchronization against the CyclicBuffer to prevent such simultaneous access from multiple threads. This appears to have been lost in the merge/refactor. Patch (to follow shortly) re-introduces synchronization against the CyclicBuffer in the narrowest possible scope.
