Important Update regarding Apache Log4j


As you are most likely aware, a critical vulnerability in Apache Log4j, a logging library that’s used in millions of Java-based applications, came to light over the weekend.

SysAid is addressing this vulnerability on two fronts – with an immediate workaround as well as the release of both Cloud and On-premises versions that include a fix. We strongly encourage you to implement the workaround as soon as possible.
Based upon our initial analysis, we do not expect customers to experience any impact as a result of the workaround. If you have any issues, please contact us ASAP.

Update for cloud customers - Log4j 2.17.0 is included in current rollout 21.4.70



While the workaround we shared with you recently has been effective, and the work on a permanent fix was on its way, we were also made aware of new security concerns in regard to Log4j 2.16.0 (CVE-2021-45105).



As a result, our new Cloud release 21.4.70 will include a Log4j update to version 2.17.0 This version will begin to be deployed on Sunday, Dec. 26.
