Improper Encoding or Escaping of Output vulnerability in the RemoteSyslogAppender of Apache log4net.
Every character outside visible ASCII and space was removed from the record instead of being escaped, so non-ASCII text and control characters such as tabs disappeared without notice. A party whose data reaches a log message could make a distinct value look identical in the record, for example a user name holding a zero-width space logged as admin. Only applications that use RemoteSyslogAppender are affected.
This issue affects Apache log4net: from 1.2.12 before 3.5.0.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.5.0, which fixes the issue.
