Does iText vulnerability affect Confluence (CVE-2017-9096)

[mjb2kmn]

I am having difficulty finding what version of iText library is used in Confluence and even which versions of iText are vulnerable is not very clear.  

Does anyone have more information on whether or not Confluence is affected by the vulnerability? Or where I can see what version of iText a particular version of Confluence is using?

I suspect Confluence is using a version bundled inside some of it's internal add-ons, so the only way to know would be to read the code or un-bundle the add-ons and look for it.

However, my Confluence does refer to it, and I suspect is therefore using 2.1.7

confluence# find . -type f | grep -i itext
./licenses/com.lowagie--itext--2.1.7.txt

That's about the same thing I found, I was hoping to be able to find it for other versions without searching each one.

I guess I'll just have to trust that Atlassian will be on top of this and notify customers if there is a vulnerability.

They do actively check this stuff and alert us.  Solution Partners usually get an earlier mention if they are starting to think they might be affected.
