The POC seems to require the attacker be able to upload a file that
overwrites the configuration, with hot reloading enabled.  We do have
hot reloading enabled but there's no inherent way to overwrite the
config.

That said with logback currently at 1.2.3 (in trunk), perhaps we
should consider an upgrade for safety.
