Ignite Realtime Blog: Openfire 4.6.7 released (Log4j 2.17.1 only change)
Openfire 4.6.7 has been released with only a single change to bump the bundled log4j library to version 2.17.1. Whilst we do not believe Openfire to be vulnerable to the CVEs associated with the log4j 2.17.0 and 2.17.1 releases, we realize that many folks are running naive security scanners that are simply checking for bundled jar versions.
