[jira] [Comment Edited] (LOG4J2-588) Log4j 2 rc1 executes unsigned content by checking for plugins

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-588?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13976381#comment-13976381 ]

>From a users perspective I can not see why you need to do a "secure build".
With reference to our webstart applications we sign the applications and of course the log4j-libs as well before we run them over the internet. 
But we still have the problem that we get the warning mentioned before ("Try to run signed and unsigned code"), even after all the changes you suggested.

With reference to our webstart applications we sign the applications and of course the log4j-libs as well before we run them over the internet. 
But still we have the problem that we get the warning ("Try to run code, both signed and unsigned"), even after all the changes you suggested.

> Hey guys,
> In our laboratory infrastructure we launch java applications as java webstarts. These applications have to be signed. 
> This now leads us to the following problem:
> Log4j2 rc1 seems to check for plugins in the java home directory of the operating system and tries to access/execute some code of the contained jar files. These files are not signed.
> These cicumstances lead to a Security Exception which did not occur in all minor Log4j2 versions (including beta 9).
> Let me give you some more details.
> Here is the stacktrace showing the situation before the program crashes:

> This (probably) leads the method to try to access code inside the jar files.
> Because these jars ore not signed this causes a warning if you start the
> webstart application that says that you try to run both signed and unsigned
> contents.
> I tried to fix this by commenting the whole method. This caused a Null-Pointer-Exception. I think in this context you might need also to think about the return statement in th catch clause in line 237. If the IOException will be thrown, no global side effects could have happened, so this event will also probably cause a
> Null-Pointer-Exception.
