Hi All,

Any tips on how we can go about using the latest version for log4j? It seems that the log4j version from the runtime support files is outdated and recently, there is this high security risk for log4j 2.

I would like to deploy log4j 2.15.0.jar but i am getting error after removing log4j 1.2.15.jar in tomcat lib folder.

OD 8.1.1 will upgrade to log4j 1.2.16. It is going to be GA next week.

Hi Wilson,

If i am not wrong, log4j 1.2.16 is still vulnerable to 3 CVE's (the same applies to log4j 1.2.17)

Log4j 1.2.x is also End-Of-Life.

Hi Wilson, does that mean we can just update log4j to the latest (log4j 2.15.0) without issues?
The version you have mentioned is also affected by the CVE.

I mentioned "Log4j2 2.16" in my last message. It is the newest release for log4j version 2.

You can not do any manual upgrade. OD 8.1.1 will support log4j 2.16.0, GA next week.

Hi Wilson, now i understand. i suppose all applications using older Orchestration versions will need to be redeployed and updated using AAOD 8.1.1 in order to fix the log4j issue. Thanks for the information.

The release has been put on hold since we are getting new updates from log4j2

So, to get rid of log4jv1 we'll need to upgrade everyone to a yet to be GA OD 8.1.1 which is compatible with
AEP 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 8.0, 8.1
J2SE 1.8, 1.9, 10.1, 11, 12
Tomcat 7.0,8.0, 8.5, 9.0
Correct?

Yes. We don't have the date for GA yet. It could be any time.
