Re: Pac4J CVE Remediation for Knox

Hi,

I'm back from vacation.

Indeed, we now target JDK 11 and encourage people to upgrade. This is pac4j
v5.
This is where we focus our efforts. All new features and security fixes are
done on this branch.

If you still need JDK 8, pac4j v4 still exists but almost no longer evolves.
Critical security fixes are still applied on this branch when requested.

Related to CVE-2021-44878, it has been fixed in pac4j v4.5.6:
https://www.pac4j.org/docs/release-notes.html
So you just need to upgrade to this version which is JDK 8 based.

Thanks.
Best regards,
Jérôme

Thanks for the response, @Jérôme LELEU <le...@gmail.com>!
I missed this email, likely due to my vacation. :)

Thank you Jerome!
For now we will upgrade to  v4.5.6 to mitigate the CVE risks while we chart
out the plan to move to JDK 11.
This will force us to think about moving to JDK 11, which I think is time
for us to move.
