It affected almost everyone, from large to small companies, and if you work in Java, chances are that you might've to work on it too (and if you haven't, it's a good idea to double-check your code) It has a severity of "10", which is rare, and what makes it hard to ignore. If you want to understand what it was about, and how it got there, then take a listen. Learn how to patch against it, as we travel and dive into the mechanics and the missed opportunities that happened. http://www.javaoffheap.com/datadog We thank DataDogHQ for sponsoring this podcast episode DO follow us on twitter @offheap http://www.twitter.com/offheap *News* MicroProfile 5.0: https://microprofile.io/ Eclipse IDE Release https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/2021-12/r NetBeans 12.6 Release https://netbeans.apache.org/download/nb126/index.html Spring Native 0.11 Release https://docs.spring.io/spring-native/docs/current/reference/htmlsingle/ *Discussion* Log4j2 https://www.lunasec.io/docs/blog/log4j-zero-day/ It made CNN: https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/13/politics/us-warning-software-vulnerability/index.html
