well, vuze is an app that still works and is used by users. the only issue we have with it so far is that it is not compatible with newer log4j and it's older api interface log4j-12-api. there are still 15 distributions providing this package: https://repology.org/projects/?search=vuze there is also 1 distro providing vuze 5.7.6.1_B01. i suggest we look at other distros whether they already patched vuze for the latest log4j or at least for log4j-12-api and if so, we use their patch. if not, i might have a look at the sources how to adjust it to work with log4j-12-api.
it might also be that the class has just been moved to a different package so a change in the import might fix it: https://logging.apache.org/log4j/log4j-2.14.1/log4j-core/apidocs/org/apache/logging/log4j/core/filter/DenyAllFilter.html
^ PR containing a patch which implements the idea in comment 5 has been created. If this could save the package in question from the last-rite, please consider updating the bug title accordingly.
