NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream log4net package and not the log4net package as distributed by Echo.
See How to fix? for Echo:latest relevant fixed versions and status.
Improper Neutralization of Null Byte or NUL Character vulnerability in the EventLogAppender of Apache log4net.
A NUL character in logged content ended the Windows Event Log record at that point, so everything the layout rendered after it, including exception text and trailing fields, was silently not stored. A party whose data reaches a log message could hide the rest of that record. Only applications on Windows that use EventLogAppender are affected.
This issue affects Apache log4net: from 1.2.9 before 3.5.0.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.5.0, which fixes the issue.
