Dear David

we are aware of the issue and have already published a patch. It is one
patch for each operating system all affected versions of Topspin. Only
Topspin3.6.x and Topspin 4.x.x are affected. Older versions of Topspin are
ok.

It can be downloaded from here.

Best regards

Clemens

I ran a shell script (https://github.com/rubo77/log4j_checker_beta) on my
CentOS 7 workstations and found that log4j is used quite extensively in
Topspin and there are quite a few log4j files to be found in the Topspin
tree.

Perhaps someone who has a better understanding of the recently discovered
vulnerabilities might be able to answer: does Topspin use the system level
log4j provided by log4j-1.2.17-16.el7_4.noarch.rpm, or is it embedded in
Topspin in a way that is not affected by changes/patches at the system
level? Does Topspin represent a security hole?
