>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-3286
>             Project: Log4j 2
>          Issue Type: Question
>          Components: Appenders
>    Affects Versions: 2.17.0
>         Environment: Windows desktop running unit tests with log4j 2.17
>            Reporter: Ben Thurley
>            Priority: Major
>
> Upgrading to 2.17 to fix the slew of vulnerabilities has resulted in a change to error handling in the logs.
> Specifically in the class:
> org.apache.logging.log4j.core.config.AppenderControl
> There is a method called tryCallAppender() which as of 2.14.1 had been set to catch Exception. Looking at the history I can see no further changes to revert this to handling Throwable, however, comparing the source for 2.16. and 2.17 this is exactly what has changed.
> I don't believe this change should have reverted and if it should then why isn't there a commit for it in the history?
