Hello Jordan,

It appears that while your latest patch has addressed CVE-2021-44228 and CVE-2021-45046 by upgrading to log4j 2.16.0, that upgrade still leaves us vulnerable to CVE-2021-45105 (High). Can we expect to see an additional patch to bring us up to log4j 2.17.0 or is there a reason why your latest patch didn’t bring us up to 2.17.0 (perhaps an issue was identified during testing to address 44228 and 45046)?

The latest official information from SailPoint regarding this topic can be found in the Community Announcements Blog on Compass at Log4J Denial of Service (DoS) Vulnerability (CVE-2021-45105) update - December 20, 2021 - Compass .

The security fix containing 2.16.0 was relatively far down the path of our release process when CVE-2021-45105 was announced. Given the analysis of impact on IdentityIQ and File Access Manager customers for CVE-2021-45105, we decided to not re-start that process since customer demand to release fixes that remediate the much higher and more applicable CVE-2021-44228 was understandably high.
