DS-CR


There is a very critical vulnerability in Apache LOG4J library, which is used by our Zuken DS-CR Client and DS-CR Engine release 2020 or 2021 applications. Please do not wait with replacement, because rating factor of vulnerability is declared as very high.

To fix this problem, it is necessary to exchange the log4j to the newer version (2.15 or later). ZJ R&D has confirmed that DS-CR Framework Engine can work with release 2.16. To adopt 2.16, following two files should be replaced.

  • log4j-api-2.16.0.jar
  • log4j-core-2.16.0.jar

Please use following link to download PDF-document with VersionUp Guide and ZIP-file log4j-2.16.0.zip including log4j files described above…

This adoption is needed for Job Server, Vault Cache Server, and DS-Web.

 

Other products that are not shown in this table are not affected by the vulnerability because they do not use Java.
