  • 1.  log4j security compliance -- CVE-2021-44228

    Posted 12-10-2021 15:54
    There's a questionably large RCE exploit announced today (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-44228) that may or may not impact pdi.  The more I read about it, the more obvious it becomes that this is a way larger issue than we (as of this writing) understand.

    pdi-ce 9.2 still uses a log4j jar from 2012 that hit EOL in 2015.  1.x versions aren't even tested for security compliance by the log4j team anymore (you know, because EOL...) and they urge anyone using log4j to update to 2 in order to receive security updates.

    Hi @William Jansen Van Nieuwenhuizen we still struggling to get access to the KB but according what I have read from SOC sources older log4j 1.2.x versions aren't affected only log4j2 versions 2.0-beta9 up to 2.14.1 are affected.

    Although Log4j v1.2.x has its own vulnerabilities and EOL.

    I do agree that there is a 2.8.2 version in pax-logging-log4j2-1.10.2.jar file.  I did not catch this at first.  Unfortunately, our security team requires us to have an officially supported fix from the vendor.  Any update would be appreciated.  We are going to have to un-install our Pentaho product unless we can get some guidance soon.

    Also, I would like to follow the knowledge article linked in this thread, but trying to navigate to it results in the same message Brendan Gilbert was receiving...an error stating "you do not have permission to view this page".

    EDIT: looks like I replied to the wrong post, which placed this one out of order.  My apologies, I would fix it if I knew how.

    I hope everybody that's been looking for the information has seen that the link is now available publicly without login regarding the affected products and the patches that fix them.

    We are also using community edition (9.1), but from everything I can tell, the original poster is correct in that Pentaho uses 1.x version, which I don't believe is affected by this weekend's log4j vulnerability.  I read up a little on it (not an expert on this btw), and I could not find the classes referenced in that vulnerability.  Here's what I was going from when trying to troubleshoot...

    https://www.socinvestigation.com/apache-log4j-vulnerability-detection-and-mitigation/

    However, 1.x is no longer supported and apparently has it's own vulnerability that was never patched up due to EOL, so I guess the question is how do we move Pentaho up to log4j2 v2.15?

    I'm on Pentaho BI server 9.1. This ships log4j 2.8.2 hidden in pentaho-solutions/system/karaf/system/org/ops4j/pax/logging/pax-logging-log4j2/1.10.2/pax-logging-log4j2-1.10.2.jar.

    I have no idea where that might be used, but the only mitigation I can find is to remove     JndiLookup.class from the jar (naturally you'll want to backup and test before rolling it out):

     
    zip -q -d \
        pentaho-solutions/system/karaf/system/org/ops4j/pax/logging/pax-logging-log4j2/1.10.2/pax-logging-log4j2-1.10.2.jar \
        org/apache/logging/log4j/core/lookup/JndiLookup.class
