Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

logback-classic and logback-core are vulnerable to a serialization flaw in the logback receiver component, affecting versions from 1.3.0 before 1.3.12, from 1.4.0 before 1.4.12, and before 1.2.13. An attacker who can send data to a deployed logback receiver can cause a denial-of-service by sending poisoned data. The source gives few details beyond this. Upgrade logback-classic and logback-core to 1.3.12, 1.4.12, or 1.2.13 depending on your release line.
