+1 but in a separate 3.6.2 release.

One reason is that we should not delay the most important fix.

Another is that it is already the second release build out of many, in my 
vacation, with a 6 month old baby. Would appreciate other committers / PMC 
members to help in the effort.

+1 to upgrade to Log4J 2.16.0
... if not switching logging library. But thats another issue.

[CVE-2021-45046|https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-45046] 
Apache Log4j2 Thread Context Message Pattern and Context Lookup Pattern 
vulnerable to a denial of service attack.
Severity: Moderate

[Apache Log4j Security 
Vulnerabilities|https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/security.html]

Description:
{quote}
It was found that the fix to address CVE-2021-44228 in Apache Log4j 2.15.0 was 
incomplete in certain non-default configurations. This could allows attackers 
with control over Thread Context Map (MDC) input data when the logging 
configuration uses a non-default Pattern Layout with either a Context Lookup 
(for example, $${ctx:loginId}) or a Thread Context Map pattern (%X, %mdc, or 
%MDC) to craft malicious input data using a JNDI Lookup pattern resulting in a 
denial of service (DOS) attack. Log4j 2.15.0 restricts JNDI LDAP lookups to 
localhost by default. Note that previous mitigations involving configuration 
such as to set the system property `log4j2.noFormatMsgLookup` to `true` do NOT 
mitigate this specific vulnerability.
{quote}

Log4j 2.16.0 fixes this issue by removing support for message lookup patterns 
and disabling JNDI functionality by default.

According to Log4J 2.16.0 release notes...


{code:java}
While this change is recommended, it is NOT
required to fix CVE-2021-44228.
{code}

-> Nice to have!
