-----------------------------------

             Summary: 2.17 has reverted LOG4J-2972 fix in AppenderControl but change not in history
                 Key: LOG4J2-3286
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-3286
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Appenders
    Affects Versions: 2.17.0
         Environment: Windows desktop running unit tests with log4j 2.17
            Reporter: Ben Thurley


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?
