✅ Remediation

Before applying this update, back up your existing Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform installation and deployed applications. The References section of this erratum contains a download link (you must log in to download the update). Workaround: As per upstream: - In prior releases confirm that if the JDBC Appender is being used it is not configured to use any protocol other than Java. - Note that only the log4j-core JAR file is impacted by this vulnerability. Applications using only the log4j-api JAR file without the log4j-core JAR file are not impacted by this vulnerability. Workaround: For Log4j versions up to and including 2.15.0, this issue can be mitigated by removing the JndiLookup class from the classpath (example: zip -q -d log4j-core-*.jar org/apache/logging/log4j/core/lookup/JndiLookup.class). Workaround: For Log4j 2 versions up to and including 2.16.0, this flaw can be mitigated by: - In PatternLayout in the Log4j logging configuration, replace Context Lookups like ${ctx:loginId} or $${ctx:loginId} with Thread Context Map patterns (%X, %mdc, or %MDC) like %X{loginId}. - Otherwise, in the Log4j logging configuration, remove references to Context Lookups like ${ctx:loginId} or $${ctx:loginId} where they originate from sources external to the application such as HTTP headers or user input.
