Descripción
*** Pendiente de traducción *** Apache Log4cxx&#39;s XMLLayout https://logging.apache.org/log4cxx/1.7.0/classlog4cxx_1_1xml_1_1XMLLayout.html , in versions before 1.7.0, fails to sanitize characters forbidden by the XML 1.0 specification https://www.w3.org/TR/xml/#charsets in log messages, NDC, and MDC property keys and values, producing invalid XML output. Conforming XML parsers must reject such documents with a fatal error, which may cause downstream log processing systems to drop or fail to index affected records.<br />
<br />
An attacker who can influence logged data can exploit this to suppress individual log records, impairing audit trails and detection of malicious activity.<br />
<br />
Users are advised to upgrade to Apache Log4cxx 1.7.0, which fixes this issue.
