Meet Marc Zionts - Exec, Cyclist, Friend of the Earth and NEW Synacor CEO
| Exciting news! We are proud to introduce our new CEO, Marc Zionts. |
 |
| |
Marc has an impressive career running technology companies both in the U.S. and worldwide.
What’s Marc's approach for Zimbra as a global brand?
"We serve a vital purpose to the industry by being a great alternative to the giants. We all live on and rely on our communications and collaboration software tools. People want alternatives to the two oligopolies in the marketplace. That being said, it’s important that people are buying Zimbra because they think that Zimbra is the best product. So that means really understanding, do we have the right roadmap? Are we thinking about the market in the right way? What are our opportunities for growth?"
Marc is eager to set up a 1:1 call with you, and to meet in-person as soon as safety allows. Read more about Marc here.

Supported Zimbra Versions Not Affected by Zero-Day Exploit Vulnerability for Log4j
After intensive review and testing, Zimbra Development determined that the zero-day exploit vulnerability for Log4j (CVE-2021-44228) does not affect the current Supported Zimbra versions (9.0.0 & 8.8.15). Zimbra Collaboration Server currently uses Log4j version 1.2.16. The cause of the vulnerability is found in the lookup expression feature in Log4j versions 2.0 to 2.17.
Also, the Redhat (CVE-2021-4104) vulnerability does not affect the current Supported Zimbra Collaboration Server versions (8.8.15 & 9.0.0). For this vulnerability to affect the server, it needs JMSAppender and the ability to append configuration files. Zimbra does not use the JMSAppender.
We are in the process of upgrading Log4j and expect it to be completed within the first quarter of 2022.
