Luke Chen commented on KAFKA-13535: ----------------------------------- [~vijaykaali811] , some update: log4j-1.x.x is not completely safe from this CVE. But as long as you're using Kafka, and not setting the log4j jms configuration: *TopicBindingName* or *TopicConnectionFactoryBindingName* to something that JNDI can handle, ex: "ldap://host:port/a" (usually we won't set this kind of name), it is safe! > Workaround for mitigating CVE-2021-44228 Kafka > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-13535 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-13535 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 2.8.1 > Reporter: Akansh Shandilya > Priority: Major > > Kafka v2.8.1 uses log4j v1.x .
