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. Fixed in Apache Log4j 2.12.3 and 2.13.1

Mitigation

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