The problem lies in Log4j, a ubiquitous, open source Apache logging framework that developers use to keep a record of activity within an application. Security responders are scrambling to patch the bug, which can be easily exploited to take control of vulnerable systems remotely.
At the same time, hackers are actively scanning the internet for affected systems. Some have already developed tools that automatically attempt to exploit the bug, as well as worms that can spread independently from one vulnerable system to another under the right conditions. Log4j is a Java library, and while the programming language is less popular with consumers these days, it's still in very broad use in enterprise systems and web apps.
For example, Microsoft-owned Minecraft on Friday posted detailed instructions for how players of the game's Java version should patch their systems.
All an attacker has to do to exploit the flaw is strategically send a malicious code string that eventually gets logged by Log4j version 2. The exploit lets an attacker load arbitrary Java code on a server, allowing them to take control. Researchers at the company published a warning and initial assessment of the Log4j vulnerability on Thursday. Minecraft screenshots circulating on forums appear to show players exploiting the vulnerability from the Minecraft chat function.
Also Need to review attached URL and what are the mailcious website , is there is any way Symantec will help on this. There is no point in downloading the DB externally as you cannot see whats inside.
Once the device is set with correct entitlement, it will download the DB on its own and then you can refer the same in policy. This also entitles you to get real-time rating for unknown domains.
