Updated version of the CVE-2021-44228-log4j plugin avilable

ok, that’s not the latest package, but that’s ok. So you haven’t installed any log4 package other than the one from the Exchange (version 20220205.v0.1.2)? It’s a little strange then. The Error message says the file /omd/sites/ui/local/share/check_mk/agents/plugins/log4j2-scan.linux is already there and belongs to another package. I only know this error,

  • if you first install the log4_executable (log4j_executables-2020305.v3.0.1.mkp) package and
    then try to install the package from the exchange
  • update the plugin to the latest version
    without first uninstalling it and then trying to install the executable package.

If you have done this, you can either remove the log4_executable package and use the
package from the exchange, or use the latest version of this plugin (along with the executable package) available here on my git repository (it’s the same as in the update announcement).
