Description Guilherme de Almeida Suckevicz 2020-05-04 17:28:34 UTC 
Improper validation of certificate with host mismatch in Apache Log4j SMTP appender. This could allow an SMTPS connection to be intercepted by a man-in-the-middle attack which could leak any log messages sent through that appender.

Reference:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2819

Comment 7 Jason Shepherd 2020-05-05 22:50:12 UTC 
Mitigation:

Previous versions can set the system property mail.smtp.ssl.checkserveridentity to true to globally enable hostname verification for SMTPS connections.
