View all threadsHi All,
If you're running CollectionSpace 6.0 or above, patches are now available to upgrade log4j to 2.15.0, in order to mitigate the CVE-2021-44228https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-44228 vulnerability.
If you've already applied the previously recommended mitigation (adding -Dlog4j2.formatMsgNoLookups=true to the JVM startup options), you don't need to upgrade log4j, but it won't hurt anything if you do.
To upgrade:
Stop the CollectionSpace server.
In your services source code directory (typically /opt/collectionspace/services or /home/cspace/collectionspace-source/services), pull the latest code for your release branch.
cd /opt/collectionspace/services
git pull
Build the services source code.
mvn clean install -DskipTests
Redeploy the services web application.
ant undeploy deploy
To verify that log4j has been upgraded, check the jar files that exist in the tomcat lib directory:
cd $CSPACE_JEESERVER_HOME/lib
ls log4j*.jar
All of the listed filenames should end with -2.15.0.jar.
Reply to the talk list if you have any questions or run into any problems.
Thanks,
Ray
