Resolution
Update – 1/14/22 TIBCO is planning to provide a hotfix for TIBCO Foresight Transaction Insight, Operational Monitor, Archive and Retrieval System, BI Bridge - BAM Extract that will include log4j 2.17. We are working to determine the release dates. Once they become available, we will distribute another notification.
Apache Log4J Vulnerability Update – 12/16/21 Apache has announced that one of the previously recommended mitigation measures does not sufficiently address this vulnerability. “Other insufficient mitigation measures are: setting system property log4j2.formatMsgNoLookups or environment variable LOG4J_FORMAT_MSG_NO_LOOKUPS to true for releases >= 2.10.” Their new recommendation is “to upgrade Log4j to a safe version (2.16.0), or remove the JndiLookup class from the log4j-core jar.” Log4j – Apache Log4j Security Vulnerabilities.
In light of this new announcement, TIBCO has updated its remediation guidance. Hotfixes will be provided for the products listed below. The hotfixes will include 2.16.0 of Apache Log4j. While these products currently use version 1.x of Log4j, which is not affected by the vulnerability, Apache recommends that organizations upgrade to the latest version (2.16.0) of Apache log4j 2.
