Security Update: CVE-2021-44228 Apache Log4j2

Update: Wednesday, February 9, 2022 12:00pM (EST)

SmartBear has closely monitored and analyzed Apache guidance related to the Log4j2 Remote Code Execution (RCE) Vulnerabilities stemming from CVE-2021-44228 and associated vulnerabilities. Risk has been mitigated or remediated on SmartBear-managed cloud products.

New guidance was received to upgrade to Log4J version 2.17.1 on impacted systems, after additional potential exploits were found in the previously-recommended Log4J upgrade to 2.16.0 and 2.17.0. SmartBear does not use any of the config patterns that are vulnerable to these exploits. The vulnerabilities identified in versions 2.16.0 and 2.17.0 require use of the JMS Appender or the JDBC Appender in addition to external control of Log4J configuration. Without these conditions, which do not exist on SmartBear products, it is not possible to trigger the exploit. As an overabundance of caution, SmartBear is continuing to upgrade products to Log4J 2.17.x as part of the normal release cycle.

SmartBear does not use any of the config patterns that are vulnerable to these exploits. Please note the difference between 2.17 and 2.16 is that a potential DoS issue exists only if a very special context lookup is used in the logging statement that incorporates data from a user action. Without these conditions, which do not exist on SmartBear products, it's not possible to trigger the exploit.

Apache recently announced that the fix to address CVE-2021-44228 (upgrading Log4j to at least version 2.15.0) is not complete if non-default or custom configurations are used. SmartBear products remain unaffected with this new information. SmartBear does not use the non-default configurations and the residual risk is low in using the 2.15.0 version of Log4j.

Many SmartBear products are already using Log4j 2.16.0. Out of an abundance of caution, SmartBear products not already using 2.16 will update to this version during the next available release
