> Reported by Sebastian Krahmer to security@apache.org
> Logged as CVE-2006-0743
> The LocalSyslogAppender contains a vulnerability which could lead to memory corruption within the runtime process. This is likely to cause the application using the LocalSyslogAppender to terminate unexpectedly. In addition to a deliberate denial of service attack this fault may be caused by logging legitimate data therefore the LocalSyslogAppender must not be used even within secured environments.
> Current users of the LocalSyslogAppender (from the log4net 1.2.9 release) should update their logging configuration to remove references to the LocalSyslogAppender. Alternatively users can build a new version of the log4net assembly from the head of the source code repository where this fault has been fixed.
