Re: Remote code execution exploit found in Log4j

× The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

I don't know if IBM is evasive, or if they don't really know
definitively yet, I'm going with the latter at this point. Also IBM tends
to release the PTFs when they announce the vulnerability as well, so I'll
bet there are developers working to identify and correct anything they need
to.

That logging is usually called out as a java class, ie:

package org.apache.logging; import org.apache.logging.log4j.LogManager;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.Logger;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.Marker;

It could be used in 1000s of places, or none. We have to wait for more
information.

Which then references the link below. Nothing in the link below tells me
anything about the IBM i specifically. I added the environment variable
and restarted DB2 Web Query. But beyond that, the steps are Greek to me.

The only application we have externally facing is DB2 Web Query. I asked
if it was affected... support just keeps reiterating "our only
communication is via the blog"

I have never seen IBM support so "evasive" about an issue.
