✅ Remediation

Before applying this update, back up your existing Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform installation and deployed applications. For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes described in this advisory, refer to: https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258 Workaround: Please note that the Log4j upstream strongly recommends against using the SerializedLayout with the SocketAppenders. Customers may mitigate this issue by removing the SocketServer class outright; or if they must continue to use SocketAppenders, they can modify their SocketAppender configuration from SerializedLayout to use JsonLayout instead. An example of this in log4j-server.properties might look like this: log4j.appender.file.layout=org.apache.log4j.JsonLayout
