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.
