openSUSE Leap 15.3: 2021:4107-1 Important: Log4j Update

Fedora System Enhancement for log4j tackles urgent vulnerabilities and delivers vital patches to ensure server safety.
An update that fixes two vulnerabilities is now available

Description

This update for log4j fixes the following issue:

- Previously published fixes for log4jshell turned out to be incomplete.

Upstream has followed up on the original patch for CVE-2021-44228 with

several additional changes (LOG4J2-3198, LOG4J2-3201, LOG4J2-3208, and

LOG4J2-3211) that are included in this update. Since the totality of

those patches is pretty much equivalent to an update to the latest

version of log4j, we did update the package's tarball from version

2.13.0 to 2.16.0 instead of trying to apply those patches to the old

version. This change brings in a new dependency on "jakarta-servlet" and

a version update of "disruptor". [bsc#1193743, CVE-2021-45046]
