To fully protect your DSpace-CRIS 2021.x site from CVE-2021-44228, three steps are required:
-
Upgrade your DSpace-CRIS backend to dspace-cris-2021.02.02 OR manually install #8065, rebuild and redeploy your DSpace-CRIS backend. Make sure to restart your Tomcat after the update.
-
Upgrade to Apache Solr v8.11.1 (or above), OR ensure that
