Chris Troullis commented on SOLR-15843:
---------------------------------------
Just a heads up regarding the notes here:
[https://solr.apache.org/security.html#apache-solr-affected-by-apache-log4j-cve-2021-44228]
It now looks like [https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/security.html] has been
updated to remove setting -Dlog4j2.formatMsgNoLookups=true as a recommended
mitigation measure. It is now listed in the history under the section for
"Older (discredited) mitigation measures". Apparently setting the property does
help eliminate the major attack vectors, but there are others that are not
mitigated by setting the property.
Not sure if these additional attack vectors are applicable to Solr or not, but
the page now states that "The safest thing to do is to upgrade Log4j to a safe
version, or remove the JndiLookup class from the log4j-core jar."
Again, not sure if this warrants updating the notes in the Solr CVE report,
just wanted to bring it to your attention.
