Summary

A critical vulnerability potentially allowing remote code execution in Apache Log4j 2 impacting all versions from 2.0-beta9 to 2.14.1 has been publicly disclosed. The vulnerability has been assigned the identifier CVE-2021-44228.

Flexera is expanding its product impact assessment and mitigation information to also cover CVE-2021-4104, CVE-2021-45046 and CVE-2021-45105 which affect earlier versions of Apache Log4j. These CVEs have lower severities than the primary CVE-2021-44228 vulnerability.

This article provides currently available information about the potential impact of these vulnerabilities on Flexera products.

For information about how Flexera's solutions can help with identifying potential exposures to log4j in other software, see the following post: Identifying Apache Log4j JNDI Vulnerability “Log4Shell” and Variants

This is an ongoing assessment. Updates will be made to this advisory as further information becomes available.

The information on this page reflects:

  • The assessed current status of Flexera's SaaS systems.
  • The assessed status of all versions of Flexera's products that are still supported (that is, they have not yet reached their End of Life). Product lifecycle dates can be found at https://docs.flexera.com/eol/default.htm.

* In an earlier revision of this page, AdminStudio 2018 was identified as potentially exposed due to the possibility that an edition of InstallShield that shipped with CodeInsight (which does include Log4j) was used. Further assessment has confirmed AdminStudio did not include this edition.

** In an earlier revision of this page, SVM Cloud and SVR were identified as potentially exposed, but the products were not affected, rather an internal tool used for logging which has been updated.

Use of Log4j in Flexera's products

Versions of Apache log4j components that are not vulnerable to CVE-2021-44228 are used in a number of Flexera's products and associated 3rd party products. Apache have identified the vulnerability applies specifically to the log4j-core JAR file versions 2.0-beta9 to 2.14.1.

See the following page for details: https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/security.html.

Other log4j components (such as the log4j-api-2.* JAR file) in this version range have not been identified as vulnerable.
