"It was discovered that there was an XML external entity vulnerability
in log4net, a logging API for the ECMA Common Language Infrastructure
(CLI), sometimes referred to as 'Mono'.
This type of attack occurs when XML input containing a reference to an
internet-faced entity is processed by a weakly configured XML parser.
This attack may lead to the disclosure of confidential data, denial of
service, server side request forgery as well as other system impacts.
For Debian 8 'Jessie', this issue has been fixed in log4net version
1.2.10+dfsg-6+deb8u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your log4net packages.
NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description
block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted
to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without
introducing additional issues."
