Description

Corrects the Log4j entry in the Chef Automate 4.13.535 release notes. It said the bundled Log4j Core was "upgraded to 2.25.4", but 4.13.535 ships log4j-core-2.17.1-tuxcare.4.jar in both os/lib and os/performance-analyzer-rca/lib of chef/automate-opensearch/1.3.20/20261012054213. This is TuxCare's 2.17.1 build with the 2.25.4 fixes backported. The old wording led customers to expect a 2.25.4 jar (CHEF-34535).

TuxCare VEX for log4j-core 2.17.1-tuxcare.4 marks CVE-2025-68161, CVE-2026-34477 and CVE-2026-34480 as resolved:
https://security.tuxcare.com/vex/cyclonedx/els_lang_java/org.apache.logging.log4j/log4j-core/2.17.1-tuxcare.4/vex.json

Reviewers, please confirm: the same VEX marks CVE-2026-49844 as exploitable on 2.17.1-tuxcare.4. The line above this one claims that CVE was addressed. I left it unchanged here; please verify with TuxCare and correct it if needed.
