[jira] [Comment Edited] (LOG4J2-1820) Log4j 2.8 can lose exceptions when a security manager is present

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1820?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15877426#comment-15877426 ]

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

What about the other 31 call sites we have to {{Class.getClassLoader()}}? Wouldn't these need special care as well? Should the try/catch be abstracted in a utility method? (I'm not separating test from main in the 31 count, it's just what Eclipse reports.)

> When Log4j is rendering an exception, it can attempt to access a class loader that it does not have permissions to access when a security manager is present.
> I have a patch and a failing test case for this; I will submit it shortly.
> This is similar to LOG4J2-1560.
