Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Log4j 1.x vulnerability
Well, from my point of view the usage of reload4j is the only backwards compatible solution. Unfortunately not for every case, e.g. too strict version ranges. The solution forward is of course the usage of a log wrapper to decouple development from deployment.

Anyhow I don't know how to add a bundle jar signed and unchanged to Orbit. I am only aware of the re-bundling via EBR. Doing that will cause a change in the jar structure that causes for example logpresso to identify a CVE, although it is fixed. Which is actually only an issue in the detection. But that was one of the reasons why I contacted the reload4j project to change the base to avoid the re-bundling. 

Anyone who knows how to only sign and publish to Orbit without re-bundling?

Dirk,

Thanks.  That's really great!  It would be great for this release cycle if it were jar signed and available from Orbit so that we could ship it with 2022-03...

There are people who are concerned:

Though I'm not sure if they would consider the problem being fixed in 1.2.19 a fact and even if its a fact if it would be a fact that matters...

Regards,
Ed

Hi,

I got in contact with the reload4j team. They changed the Bundle-SymbolicName to org.apache.log4j and fixed several OSGi meta data related issues in the meanwhile. Today they published 1.2.19 which should work as a drop-in replacement in Eclipse based applications where Require-Bundle was used. My local tests worked so far.

That said, re-bundling for Orbit should not be necessary as reload4j could directly be consumed via Maven Central. 

Just wanted to keep you updated. 

Greez,

Use of SLF4J has been suggested before and so I tried to be a good
Eclipse citizen. My failed attempts are described in:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=559532

If SLF4J is to be used, can someone please ensure that the platform is
fit for purpose and that there is a good tutorial on how to do really
boring logging.
