Using JMSAppender in log4j configuration may lead to deserialization of untrusted data

Impact

ClickHouse JDBC Bridge uses slf4j-log4j12 1.7.32, which depends on log4j 1.2.17. It allows a remote attacker to execute code on the server, if you changed default log4j configuration by adding JMSAppender and an insecure JMS broker.

Patches

The patch version 2.0.7 removed log4j dependency by replacing slf4j-log4j12 to slf4j-jdk14. Logging configuration is also changed from log4j.properties to logging.properties.

Workarounds

1. Do NOT change log4j configuration to use JMSAppender along with insecure JMS broker
2. Alternatively, you can issue below command to remove JMSAppender.class:

# install zip command if you don't have
apt-get update && apt-get install -y zip
# remove the class
zip -d clickhouse-jdbc-bridge*.jar ru/yandex/clickhouse/jdbcbridge/internal/log4j/net/JMSAppender.class
