Packages

Details

USN-813-1 fixed vulnerabilities in apr. This update provides the corresponding updates for apr-util.

Original advisory details:

Matt Lewis discovered that apr did not properly sanitize its input when
allocating memory. If an application using apr processed crafted input, a
remote attacker could cause a denial of service or potentially execute
arbitrary code as the user invoking the application.

Update instructions

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 9.04

• libaprutil1 - 1.2.12+dfsg-8ubuntu0.3

Ubuntu 8.10

• libaprutil1 - 1.2.12+dfsg-7ubuntu0.3

Ubuntu 8.04

• libaprutil1 - 1.2.12+dfsg-3ubuntu0.2

After a standard system upgrade you need to restart any applications using
apr-util, such as Subversion and Apache, to effect the necessary changes.
