VRTSaccess-app-EEB-ET4065022-7.4.2.400-1.x86_64(article 100052105)

HotFix

Abstract

The EEB 4065022 will upgrade log4j to a newer version 2.17.1

Description

The EEB 4065022 upgrades log4j to a newer version 2.17.1. The EEB can be installed on Access appliance running version 7.4.2.400.

Impact Summary

There are Access Appliance Component(s) that use the vulnerable Apache Log4j version. However, the component(s) do not have any interface(s) that are exposed outside of the Access Appliance through any public IPs. Hence there is no exposure from any external user.

 

Mitigation for Access Appliance 7.4.2.400 with Hot Fix: EEB 4065022

Veritas has provided EEB 4065022 that upgrades log4j to a newer version.

The EEB is not cluster aware and must be applied to each node individually. Repeat the procedure on each node of the appliance.

1. Download the Hot Fix from here.

2. Copy the Hot Fix to a single node of the 3340 Appliance cluster

 2a. Open a CIFS or NFS share via the Access Appliance CLISH to move the Hot Fix to the cluster node:

accessnode-01.Main_Menu> Manage

accessnode-01.Manage> Software

accessnode-01.Software> Share Open

3. Copy the Hot Fix to the CIFS or NFS directory

4. Close the share.

accessnode-01.Software> Share Close

5. List the downloaded file:
