  • Red Hat Data Grid 7.3.9

✅ Remediation

To install this update, do the following: 1. Download the Data Grid 7.3.9 server patch from the customer portal[²]. 2. Back up your existing Data Grid installation. You should back up databases, configuration files, and so on. 3. Install the Data Grid 7.3.9 server patch. Refer to the 7.3.9 Release Notes[³] for patching instructions. 4. Restart Data Grid to ensure the changes take effect. Workaround: These are the possible mitigations for this flaw for releases version 1.x: - Comment out or remove JMSAppender in the Log4j configuration if it is used - Remove the JMSAppender class from the classpath. For example: ``` zip -q -d log4j-*.jar org/apache/log4j/net/JMSAppender.class ``` - Restrict access for the OS user on the platform running the application to prevent modifying the Log4j configuration by the attacker. Workaround: These are the possible mitigations for this flaw for releases version 1.x: - Comment out or remove JMSSink in the Log4j configuration if it is used - Remove the JMSSink class from the server's jar files. For example: ``` zip -q -d log4j-*.jar org/apache/log4j/net/JMSSink.class ``` - Restrict access for the OS user on the platform running the application to prevent modifying the Log4j configuration by the attacker. Workaround: These are the possible mitigations for this flaw for releases version 1.x: - Comment out or remove JDBCAppender in the Log4j configuration if it is used - Remove the JDBCAppender class from the server's jar files. For example: ``` zip -q -d log4j-*.jar org/apache/log4j/jdbc/JDBCAppender.class ``` Workaround: These are the mitigations available for this flaw for log4j 1.x: - Avoid using Chainsaw to view logs, and instead use some other utility, especially if there is a log view available within the product itself. - Remove the Chainsaw classes from the log4j jar files. For example: ``` zip -q -d log4j-*.jar org/apache/log4j/chainsaw/* ``` (log4j jars may be nested in zip archives within product)
