Is there any confirmation that Cygwin software is not impacted by the Apache Log4J vulnerabilities (CVE-2021-44228, CVE-2021-45046 and CVE-2021-45105)?

I'm not sure why there would need to be any such confirmation. Log4J is a
Java application logging framework.

To clarify further, Java on the Windows platform is Windows native.
While it is possible to invoke Java from Cygwin bash, it is the
native Java one would invoke.  I am not aware of any Cygwin programs
that require and invoke Java.

Cygwin neither supports nor packages Java or log4j (Log for Java).
