Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, 5, and 6.
The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having
moderate security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS)
base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from
the CVE link in the References section.
The Apache Portable Runtime (APR) is a portability library used by the
Apache HTTP Server and other projects. It provides a free library of C
data structures and routines.
It was discovered that the apr_fnmatch() function used an
unconstrained recursion when processing patterns with the '*'
wildcard. An attacker could use this flaw to cause an application
using this function, which also accepted untrusted input as a pattern
for matching (such as an httpd server using the mod_autoindex module),
to exhaust all stack memory or use an excessive amount of CPU time
when performing matching. (CVE-2011-0419)
Red Hat would like to thank Maksymilian Arciemowicz for reporting this
issue.
All apr users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
a backported patch to correct this issue. Applications using the apr
library, such as httpd, must be restarted for this update to take
effect.
