  • @EwanMarshall

    So the log4j exploit is nothing really to do with the java version you are running, it was an exploit in a third party library (log4j) which is an apache software foundation project. It is upto specific programs using this library to update.

    • @JosiahBradley
      @JosiahBradley Před 2 lety +2

      Yes, but removing the JVM will definitely fix the exploit 🙂 (that wasn't done in the video but probably on the side as he mentioned wanting to hard fail all Java apps) and technically depending on JVM you can remove all vulnerable classes pre execute of any jars containing log4j so a good solution is still to kill Java on your home system to see what else needs patching. It's called a "scream test" in the industry.

    • @EwanMarshall
      @EwanMarshall Před 2 lety +5

      @@JosiahBradley Sure, but all the basis and information surrounding that here was wrong. I have plenty of reasons to remove java or ensure it is upto date beyond the log4j exploit, finally, there are java apps that use other java logging frameworks without this issue. I was actually surprised that several java applications I use weren't affected until I dove in and found them using other libraries instead.
      The point is, one does not have to say things about the exploit through ignorance or outright misstruths to make these points.

    This actually dropped my RAM usage A LOT
    I only have 8GB on my PC so things like this are life savers sometimes, thank you!
