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.
