Synopsis
========
Memory consumption errors in Apache Portable Runtime and APR Utility
Library could result in Denial of Service.
Background
==========
The Apache Portable Runtime (aka APR) provides a set of APIs for
creating platform-independent applications. The Apache Portable Runtime
Utility Library (aka APR-Util) provides an interface to functionality
such as XML parsing, string matching and database connections.
Affected packages
=================
——————————————————————-
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
——————————————————————-
1 dev-libs/apr < 1.4.8-r1 >= 1.4.8-r1
2 dev-libs/apr-util < 1.3.10 >= 1.3.10
——————————————————————-
2 affected packages
Description
===========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Apache Portable
Runtime and APR Utility Library. Please review the CVE identifiers
referenced below for details.
Impact
======
A remote attacker could cause a Denial of Service condition.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All Apache Portable Runtime users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge –sync
# emerge –ask –oneshot –verbose “>=dev-libs/apr-1.4.8-r1”
All users of the APR Utility Library should upgrade to the latest
version:
# emerge –sync
# emerge –ask –oneshot –verbose “>=dev-libs/apr-util-1.3.10”
Packages which depend on these libraries may need to be recompiled.
Tools such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying some of these
packages.
