Same question here, since our SE-VPN sever is obvisously exposed, maybe we can have a comment/sticky about this.
I also noticed a increase in portscans so I am worried.

Also concerned and will patch if something comes out.

In the mean time, don't know if it helps, but used SE Server Manager, I turned off all LOGGING options Under the Manage Virtual Hub -> Log Save Settings. Never have to look at them anyway, so turned off all logging. Don't know if this helps mitigate the Log4j or not. Anyone?

I don't know if it helps, but it isnt coded in Java avcording to this (graph says in C)

Else you might want to run a scanner in the uncompiled open source code or something to make sure
