Apache Log4j JsonTemplateLayout through version 2.25.3 improperly serializes non-finite IEEE 754 floating-point values. When a logged MapMessage, or an object logged as an ObjectMessage, contains NaN, Infinity, or -Infinity, the layout emits these values as bare tokens. Because RFC 8259 prohibits these tokens in JSON, the resulting log event is invalid JSON. This defect can cause consumers of structured logs to reject, fail to parse, or fail to index affected records.
