RE: Remote code execution exploit found in Log4j - CVE-2021-44228

IBM Support's response is to push you to the blog
https://www.ibm.com/blogs/psirt/

Which then references the link below. Nothing in the link below tells me anything about the IBM i specifically. I added the environment variable and restarted DB2 Web Query. But beyond that, the steps are Greek to me.

The only application we have externally facing is DB2 Web Query. I asked if it was affected... support just keeps reiterating "our only communication is via the blog"

I have never seen IBM support so "evasive" about an issue.
