Summary
Apache log4net: Unencodable content discards a whole SmtpPickupDirAppender batch
Details

Improper Handling of Unicode Encoding vulnerability in the SmtpPickupDirAppender of Apache log4net.

Content that the mail file writer cannot encode, such as an unpaired UTF-16 surrogate, made the write throw. Every buffered event in the batch was discarded, not only the one carrying the content, and a truncated mail could be left in the pickup directory. A party whose data reaches a log message could suppress the records of other events. Only applications that use SmtpPickupDirAppender 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.
