Java Edition 16w39b

This page covers a development version that has a major issue under certain conditions.

 

The dedicated server for this version has a security vulnerability in the Log4j library that could be used to perform a remote code execution exploit. It can be addressed by appending a certain JVM argument to the server startup command line.^[1]
