available for 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. apr-util is a library which
provides additional utility interfaces for APR; including support for
XML parsing, LDAP, database interfaces, URI parsing, and more.
It was found that certain input could cause the apr-util library to
allocate more memory than intended in the apr_brigade_split_line()
function. An attacker able to provide input in small chunks to an
application using the apr-util library (such as httpd) could possibly
use this flaw to trigger high memory consumption. (CVE-2010-1623)
All apr-util users should upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain a backported patch to correct this issue. Applications using
the apr-util library, such as httpd, must be restarted for this update
to take effect.
