Posting this response even though it is not directly related to pgsql-admin.

There is a nice write-up on the Sophos Naked Security blog about the Log4j issue: https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2021/12/13/log4shell-explained-how-it-works-why-you-need-to-know-and-how-to-fix-it/?fbclid=IwAR07rHlcNqC74hktC9X_8DZF5QgiQwzuaVlnO3WXKrn3vznd_9BuFlZuoYY

This includes information about checking if your server is affected and how to update to the patched version of log4j-core and log4j-api

 

The original question asked if PostreSQL is dependent but my understanding is that we should be asking “Is anything on my server using Log4j”.

Hope this helps.

Dave
