Here's a good read on log4shell... https://www.lunasec.io/docs/blog/log4j-zero-day-mitigation-guide/ and an ongoing list of vendor responses.... https://gist.github.com/SwitHak/b66db3a06c2955a9cb71a8718970c592 It's bound to bring us 'joy' in the holiday season and beyond! Joe

This might be able to find out if your system has any traces of log4j installed: sudo find / -name '*log4j*' -print If that doesn't output anything, you are most likely safe. ________________________________ From: Chris Thompson via WLUG <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> Sent: Wednesday, December 15, 2021 3:40 PM To: wlug(a)lists.wlug.org <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> Cc: Chris Thompson <wolcen(a)riseup.net> Subject: [WLUG] Re: Bug in the news httpd does not use log4j. solr, on the other hand, normally does. ...and Minecraft, if that applies to your server :P ~Chris On 12/15/21 15:26, Keith Wright via WLUG wrote: > Michael Voorhis <mvoorhis(a)mcvau.net> writes: > >> Log4j is a Java logging library. >> If you're running apache and not using Java, >> I don't think you need to be concerned. >> >> See here... >> >> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log4Shell > Interesting link, thanks for that. > > I don't use Java, but is Apache using it without my knowledge? > > NB: I am a bear of little brain. -- Pooh > I can't.

Re: Bug in the news

Log4j is a Java logging library. If you're running apache and not using Java, I don't think you need to be concerned.

Bug in the news

by Keith Wright

Are we worried about Log4j / Log4shell (CVE-2021-44228)? I run Apache and never look at the log files. Where are they anyway? Can I configure them out of existence, or just log boring stuff? I don't need remote logging. Can I just firewall packets? -- Keith

I don't know if I will have a jit.si capable computer, but I do know that I will not be in Hudson tonight. I would like to check in. Can I assume that someone will do what someone has done to make what has happened before happen again? Or will the forgotten past be gone forever into the memory hole? -- Keith PS: https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA hereby goes viral!

Hi Everyone, Is the usual meet.jit.si/WlugMA going to be up for far away participants? I've also got 30 seconds of follow up about what I've learned configuring my minimalist wifi repeater. I'll gladly type it out and mail it here if a mixed mode meeting isn't the plan tonight.
