This is an updated version of the 7.1 release which includes a security update for CVE-2021-44228 (log4j v2 critical vulnerability). It is fully compatible with the DSpace 7 Frontend dspace-7.1 release.
To fully protect your DSpace 7.x site from CVE-2021-44228, three steps are required:
- Upgrade your DSpace backend to 7.1.1 (or above) OR manually install #8065, rebuild and redeploy your 7.x backend. Make sure to restart your Tomcat after the update.
- Upgrade to Apache Solr v8.11.1 (or above), OR ensure that
-Dlog4j2.formatMsgNoLookups=trueis specified in yourSOLR_OPTSenvironment variable. For more information, see https://solr.apache.org/security.html#apache-solr-affected-by-apache-log4j-cve-2021-44228 - If you use the Handle.Net Registry Support in DSpace 7.x, make sure to restart your Handle Server (after performing step 1), so that it uses the new (secure) version of log4j as well.
