CVE-2021-42574 - log back

CVE-2021-42574 created at 01 Nov 2021 11:33:18
Severity	+ Medium
Remote	+ Remote
Type	+ Content spoofing
Description	+ An issue was discovered in the Bidirectional Algorithm in the Unicode Specification through 14.0. It permits the visual reordering of characters via control sequences, which can be used to craft source code that renders different logic than the logical ordering of tokens ingested by compilers and interpreters. Adversaries can leverage this to encode source code for compilers accepting Unicode such that targeted vulnerabilities are introduced invisibly to human reviewers.
