Apache Log4j JsonTemplateLayout, in versions up to and including 2.25.3, improperly serializes non-finite floating-point values such as NaN, Infinity, and -Infinity when they appear in logged event data. Because these tokens are not valid JSON under RFC 8259, the layout can emit malformed JSON records. The issue is reachable when an application uses JsonTemplateLayout and logs a MapMessage or directly logs an object that is wrapped as an ObjectMessage, where the logged content contains an attacker-controlled non-finite floating-point value. The flaw affects JSON output correctness rather than memory safety or direct code execution, but it can break systems that rely on strict JSON parsing of log streams.
