Remko Popma updated LOG4J2-1387:
--------------------------------
    Description: 
[~yang_zhong] reported this issue with the shutdown hook on LOG4J2-868 (cannot 
raise a new issue because this is disabled to defend against an Denial of 
Service attack):

{quote}
It's leaking memory in log4J 2.5 (AsyncLoggerContext) @ JDK 8u92.
Total 2G memory used by 2 AsyncLoggerContext, each references 1G 
DefaultShutdownCallBackRegistry$1
which references 4G DefaultShutdownCallBackRegistry
which references 4G CopyOnWriteArrayList
which references many many many DefaultShutdownCallBackRegistry$1
How to turn it off or what's the work-around please?
{quote}

A workaround is to disable the shutdown hook in the configuration with
{code}
<Configuration status="WARN" shutdownHook="disable">
...
{code}

Any more information to address the memory leak is welcome. I have not done 
much analysis on this yet. If you can provide a patch that would be ideal but 
additional analysis on what the problem is would be useful too.
