Update log4j2 2.17.0 to 2.17.1 due to 3rd party vulnerability issue in log4j2 2.17.0 (CVE-2021-44832)

Current Situation

• Currently the latest JS1 and JS7 JobScheduler components use log4j 2.17.0.
• A vulnerability affects log4j2 version 2.17.0:
  • CVE-2021-44832, see https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-44832  

• Severity Level: LOW
  • There is no exploit with current JS1 and JS7 JobScheduler components.
  • JOC Cockpit (JS1/JS7) and Master (JS1) ship with a log4j2.xml configuration file that does not includes configuration items that are subject to the vulnerability CVE-2021-44832. However, this might not apply in case that users modified the JobScheduler's log4j configuration files to use JDBC data sources.
  • Controller (JS7) and Agents (JS1/JS7) do not ship with a Log4j configuration affected by the vulnerability.
  • The nature of this vulnerability requires to have administrative access to JobScheduler's log4j configuration files.

Desired Behavior

• Due to a vulnerability issue of older log4j releases JobScheduler and JS7 components should use the current version 2.17.1 that fixes the issues.
