    Hi All,

     

    Do we have any impact with Log4J on Cognos 11.4.

    If yes, please share the remediation details available.

    The doc only talks about 11.1.7 - what about lower versions of 11.1?  We are on 11.1.5 now and wondering if we are impacted?

    Hello,

    Yesterday there's a security bulletin which was released. This should help to address your questions around the versions.

    Hi Robert,

    Nope, it only talks about 11.1.7.  I'm specifically asking about 11.1.5 and the OP is asking  about 11.1.4 (I believe).

    My latest knowledge is: the interim fix is applicable to CA 11.1.x which will inluce all fixes up to 11.1.7. FP4. So if you install it over 11.1.4/11.1.5 you will end up with 11.1.7 FP4 + IF6. IBM is working on a "no-patch" solution for on-premise customers who which to keep their current CA version. No release date is published yet.

    The IF 6 is for the long term release of 11.1.7. If you have version 11.1.5 and if you install the IF it will provide you will all the fixes from 11.1.5 to 11.1.7 and yes you will end up in 11.1.7 FP4 IF6 as Robert mentioned above.
