Announcements & News / SECURITY - IBM FLASH update on Log4j

« on: July 20, 2022, 06:39:52 AM »

IBM has issued an updated Security bulletin: Security Bulletin: Content Manager OnDemand for Multiplatforms is vulnerable to arbitrary code execution due to Apache Log4j (CVE-2021-44228)

Apache Log4j could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by the failure to protect against attacker controlled LDAP and other JNDI related endpoints by JNDI features. By sending a specially crafted code string, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to load arbitrary Java code on the server and take complete control of the system. Note: The vulnerability is also called Log4Shell or LogJam.

Remediation/Fixes
IBM strongly recommends addressing the vulnerability now by upgrading.

Please use below fix:

10.1.0.10

MP Server / CMOD V10.5.0.1 with SQL Server 2019

« on: April 01, 2021, 08:39:46 AM »

Hello CMOD users and gurus!

Anyone tried out MS SQL version 2019 with CMOD V10.5 yet? Compatibility matrix and requirements shows support for SQL version 2017 and later releases, but SQL 2019 has been out since November 2019 and a few clients are asking about wanting to use that. Before we dig into testing, wanted to see if anyone has tried it out yet.

Thanks!
