[jira] [Updated] (LOG4J2-3214) update security page text for CVE-2021-44228

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-3214?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Remko Popma updated LOG4J2-3214:
--------------------------------
    Description: 
I propose to update the text for the mitigation section of CVE-2021-44228 on [https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/security.html]

Changes: add Log4j 1.x section, and format the Log4j 2.x section as a bullet point list for improved readability.
----
*Log4j 1.x mitigation* - Audit your logging configuration to ensure it has no {{JMSAppender}} configured. Log4j 1.x configurations without JMSAppender are not impacted by this vulnerability.

{*}Log4j 2.x mitigation{*}: (any one of the below will mitigate the vulnerability)
 * If possible, upgrade to the latest version: 2.15.0.
 * In releases >=2.10, you can:
 ** set system property {{log4j2.formatMsgNoLookups}} to {{true}} (see [details|https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/configuration.html#SystemProperties])
 ** or set environment variable {{LOG4J_FORMAT_MSG_NO_LOOKUPS}} to {{true}} (see [details|https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/configuration.html#SystemProperties]).
 * In releases from 2.7 through 2.14.1, you can modify your logging configuration to specify the message converter as {{{}%m{nolookups{}}}} instead of just {{{}%m{}}}.
 * For releases from 2.0-beta9 to 2.7, the only mitigation is to remove the {{JndiLookup}} class from the classpath: {{zip \-q \-d log4j\-core\-*.jar org/apache/logging/log4j/core/lookup/JndiLookup.class}}.
