<summary>Security update for logback</summary>
<description>This update for logback fixes the following issues:
Upgrade to version 1.2.8
+ In response to log4Shell/CVE-2021-44228, all JNDI lookup code in logback
has been disabled until further notice. This impacts
ContextJNDISelector and insertFromJNDI element in
configuration files.
+ Also in response to log4Shell/CVE-2021-44228, all database (JDBC) related
code in the project has been removed with no replacement.
+ Note that the vulnerability mentioned in LOGBACK-1591 requires
write access to logback's configuration file as a
prerequisite. The log4Shell/CVE-2021-44228 and LOGBACK-1591
are of different severity levels. A successful RCE requires
all of the following conditions to be met:
- write access to logback.xml
- use of versions lower then 1.2.8
- reloading of poisoned configuration data, which implies
application restart or scan="true" set prior to attack
