Log4J on a Macbook?

I work in IT. Has anyone heard of any Log4J issues with a standard Macbook operating system? I know installed apps might have vulnerabilities, I was just checking on the Mac OS to start.

Log4j is a Java library. As far as I know, Apple doesn’t use any Java in its operating system.

If you aren’t running an Apache web server with Struts on your MacBook, you should be okay.

It is mainly server side services that use it. If you are using your Mac as a server, you need to check that the services are up to date, this is a general rule anyway, and that any that use Java have been updated to use at least versio 2.16 of Log4j (this is not a 100% fix, we are waiting for yet another patch, 2.15 and 2.16 both have other issues, even though they close the first discovered hole).

Interesting, Apple isn’t even listed, yet it is known that their iCloud service was vulnerable.

Like with Windows remove Java.
