Announced on Dec 10th, 2021 the Zero Day Log4j vulnerability CVE-2021-44228, is affecting systems worldwide. enosix has reviewed its systems and has yet to detect any platforms, apps, or services that are affected by this vulnerability.

Salesforce is conducting its own analysis of its systems. Any Salesforce apps provided by enosix (Surface, Transact, Commerce, CPQ) are not using log4j and are not affected. Salesforce will provide updates to the Salesforce platform, if needed.

The enosix connect platform does not utilize java or the log4j libraries and is not affected. Your IT department should review any other apps you are running in the SAP BTP platform, see SAP Note 3130476

enosix Link does not utilize java or the log4j libraries and is not affected. SAP Note 3130868 details that none of the SAP Cloud Connector versions contain the affected log4j-core and are not affected.

enosix will continue to review our systems and provide assistance. We advise that all computer systems operators review their systems that may be affected and take the recommend steps to patch any affected software.

  • [Update]: Version naming change, previous versions were prefixed with the year and the release number, ex: 2020.1.12, going forward link versions will follow a Major.Minor.Patch version scheme. with this release 2.2 the successor of 2020.1.12. The existing labels for enosix/link:stable will be updated with this release.
  • [Bugfix]: Fixed issue with configuring multiple connections within a single instance. Note: this was mainly used in development and QA connections.

This release fixes the intermittent connection error that would happen every 30-40 min and then would resolve after about two minutes.
