If you loaded Java and particularly if you’re still running Java, you’re going to need to do some research, There are affected VMware apps, and a variety of other apps from other vendors. Minecraft is vulnerable, reportedly both client and server. Tenable has a reasonable write-up, and Apache has some mitigation info posted. I'd like to hear from Apple as well on the status of macOS (and iOS) regarding log4j. This issue is most often a problem on enterprise, web-facing systems, but that's no guarantee that things you've put on your Mac aren't vulnerable as well. He or she can rule your machine, and macOS's "UNIX security" will only help the attacker by honoring root permissions. When an attacker gets root, it's Game Over. This does NOT make you safe, since many apps (Minecraft, f.e.) bundle their own Java runtime and copy of log4j. If you're playing a modified version, contact the author of the mod for details). (Minecraft is one of the applications that is vulnerable, if you're playing on a vanilla version < 1.18.1. Log4j is widely-deployed normal software that happens to have a bug with very severe consequences.Īn attacker can exploit the bug to get root privileges on the machine by doing something as trivial as sending a specially-formed text chat to a Minecraft player. It's sort-of-right in that the log4j vulnerability is not a virus, and could be right in the sense that Sophos doing a virus scan won't flag log4j files as viruses, because they're not viruses. Is there an alternative way to delete only the specific file rather than the entire backup. The advice I have received is that I must delete the entire backup. Unfortunately, the individual file can't be deleted as there was a warning "The operation can't be completed because backup items can't be modified". I would be interested in how to delete this virus file PIC036049416-JPG.zip.69931694-d5c5-4ea9-be0f-o989-3c76e4ef which has been identified as Mal/DrodZp-A. I realise this virus is related to Windows OS, but I would like to delete it anyway - also every time I use Time Machine the Mal/DrodZp-A file is detected by the virus software. Deleting one file in a time machine backup A Mal/DrodZp-A virus was flagged on one of the Time Machine Backups on an External HD.
