Hello

Your assessment is right, slf4j does not execute any log4j implementation 
except defining the adapter classes for the log4j API.
The adapter is a drop in replacement to bridge any existing usage of log4j.
For more info please read http://www.slf4j.org/legacy.html#log4j-over-slf4j

Cheers

Emne: [Geotools-gt2-users] log4j vulnerability CVE-2021-44228

Hi All,

As you probably all know there is vulnarability CVE-2021-44228 found in log4j.
The newest Geotools lib (version 26.1) contains an older not supported version 
of log4j.jar (log4j-1.2.12.jar)

According 
http://slf4j.org/log4shell.html<https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fslf4j.org%2Flog4shell.html&data=04%7C01%7CLeif.Eirik.Lislegard%40kartverket.no%7C70053b717ff0497fc4b108d9be3bec86%7C7f74c8a243ce46b2b0e8b6306cba73a3%7C0%7C0%7C637749986851108292%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=S%2BlyS0j%2BM%2FUnIIQo1v%2B9B5nmgmJEtjJ%2FfQuIrf5q55Y%3D&reserved=0>
this old version is not affected by the vulnerability but it is strongly 
advised to migrate to a newer version.

I have 2 questions:
- Will this log4j.jar file be replaced shortly?
- In my Geotools deployment I removed log4j-1.2.12.jar and only use 
log4j-over-slf4j-1.6.4.jar, slf4j-simple-1.7.12.jar and slf4j-api-1.7.12.jar
Does this mean I do not use log4j at all?

Thanks for your help,

Ron
