The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary SQL queries in database.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data when using the ODBC appender to send log messages to a database. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to the affected application and execute arbitrary SQL commands within the application database.
