Addressing the Log4j vulnerability in Data Studio 4.1.3
Resolving The Problem
You need to install the APAR 8 from the IBM Fix Central on top of Data Studio 4.1.3 APAR7 and refer to the IBM Data Studio APAR Installation.pdf that is included in the installer package.
- Extract the DS_413_APAR8_v20220221_1432Patch file.
-
Extract the ds_log4j_utility.zip file and copy it to your installation folder. For example, the default installation directories are:
-
Linux: /opt/IBM/DS4.1.3
-
Windows: C:\Program Files\IBM\DS4.1.3
-
-
If the installation directory is different than the default ones mentioned in Step 2, open the script file and update the following variable:
-
Linux:
INSTALLATION_FOLDER="/opt/IBM/SDPShared/"
DS414UTILITY="/opt/IBM/DS4.1.3/ds_log4j_utility/" -
Windows:set INSTALLATION_FOLDER=C:\Program Files\IBM\SDPShared\
set DS414UTILITY=C:\Program Files\IBM\DS4.1.3\ds_log4j_utility\
-
- Ensure that you add the installation folder correctly, referring to the existing values.
- Open the extracted ds_log4j_utility folder and run the following shell script or BAT file as per your environment:
- Linux: linux_script.sh
- Windows: windows_script.bat
- The shell script or BAT file generates a file named ds_utility_logs.txt inside the ds_log4j_utility folder. Check if any errors are logged in the log file.
- If there are no errors, the Log4j related files are clean and you can now delete the ds_log4j_utility folder.
