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.

Insufficient Logging vulnerability in the EventLogAppender of Apache log4net.

Long messages were truncated to a fixed size that exceeds what the Windows Event Log accepts once the log and source names are counted, and the event log then stored nothing and reported nothing. A party whose data reaches a log message could suppress the whole record by making it long enough. 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.
