[opencms-dev] Docker-OpenCms / log4j Vulnerability

Hi Werner,

if you still want the latest log4j 2.17 version with your Docker image, 
manually replacing the libs should work.

Maybe there is just a problem with order? Important is first to stop the 
container and then delete the log4j libs. If you try to delete the libs 
in a running container they will re-appear.

Best

Jochen
