However, I do think that it will affect all machines with all OSes. I did a cursory – cursory since did not check the version – look at my Windows 10 computers and found it to be part of MATLAB and MS SQL Server (maybe due to Azure components). </span></p><p class="yiv9409794053MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;"> </span></p><p class="yiv9409794053MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;">To find which apps use it, search for <u>log4j*.jar</u> on the root drive. That is C: drive on Windows. Jar files – Java Archives - are libraries (or DLLs in Windows) and this one was created and maintained by Apache. So if anyone is running Apache Tomcat – the web server – they would be potentially affected.</span></p><p class="yiv9409794053MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;"> </span></p><p class="yiv9409794053MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;">Log4j also affects LDAP (Light Directory Access Protocol), which is commonly used to retrieve user data and attributes, so applications using LDAP may also be affected. </span></p><p class="yiv9409794053MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;"> </span></p><p class="yiv9409794053MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;"><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/cisagov/log4j-affected-db">Here</a> is a link to s guidance on this issue.
