Log4Shell: Search Guard for Elasticsearch 7.16.1 released

Hi all,

we just released Search Guard V52.5.0 compatible with Elasticsearch 7.16.1:

Elasticsearch 7.16.1 contains fixes for the Log4Shell security vulnerability, and we advise all users to upgrade to this version as soon as possible. See also the corresponding post from Elastic:

For older versions of Elasticsearch 7.x we recommend adding following JVM option manually:

Dlog4j2.formatMsgNoLookups=true

In a standard Elasticsearch installation, this option can be added to

<ES config directory>/jvm.options

We will also release Search Guard for Elasticsearch 6.8.21 shorty.

Thanks!

Jochen and the Searh Guard Team
