Afaik we are not using the native log4j library. I think the
vulnerability is only in the actual log4j.jar file.

log4j-over-slf4j is merely a bridge that mimics log4j APIs in order to
redirect the log stream into slf4j without rewriting the existing log4j
logging statements. The bridge ensures old dependencies that have not been
migrated to SLF4J can work with Openmeetings.

So OpenMeetings is not using or distributing the native log4j JAR library.
Also the Tomat version we are using that bundles OpenMeetings into a Java
Servlet Container is not affected since it's not using the native log4j jar
file.

So as far as I can see this vulnerability should not impact OpenMeetings.

However OpenMeetings regularly ships updates with the latest libraries and
dependencies, so if you are not using the latest version, you should
update. There have been other CVE's fixed in recent versions.
