Apache Log4cxx'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. An attacker who can influence logged data can exploit this to suppress individual log records, impairing audit trails and detection of malicious activity. Users are advised to upgrade to Apache Log4cxx 1.7.0, which fixes this issue.

A flaw was found in Apache Log4cxx. An attacker who can influence logged data can exploit this by injecting characters forbidden by the XML 1.0 specification (a standard for encoding documents) into log messages, Network Device Configuration (NDC), and Mapped Diagnostic Context (MDC) property keys and values. This results in invalid XML output, causing downstream log processing systems to drop or fail to index affected records. The primary impact is the impairment of audit trails and the detection of malicious activity, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) for log processing.
