Detail

Problem Description:

Updated apr and apr-util packages that fix multiple security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5.

This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop version 4 - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64 RHEL Desktop Workstation (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) - i386, ia64, ppc, s390x, x86_64

3. Description:

The Apache Portable Runtime (APR) is a portability library used by the Apache HTTP Server and other projects. It aims to provide a free library of C data structures and routines. apr-util is a utility library used with APR. This library provides additional utility interfaces for APR; including support for XML parsing, LDAP, database interfaces, URI parsing, and more.

Multiple integer overflow flaws, leading to heap-based buffer overflows, were found in the way the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) manages memory pool and relocatable memory allocations. An attacker could use these flaws to issue a specially-crafted request for memory allocation, which would lead to a denial of service (application crash) or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of an application using the APR libraries. (CVE-2009-2412)

All apr and apr-util users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. Applications using the APR libraries, such as httpd, must be restarted for this update to take effect.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-11259

5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

515698 - CVE-2009-2412 apr, apr-util: Integer overflows in memory pool (apr) and relocatable memory (apr-util) management

Title: DSA-1854-1 apr, apr-util -- heap buffer overflow
Description: Matt Lewis discovered that the memory management code in the Apache Portable Runtime library does not guard against a wrap-around during size computations. This could cause the library to return a memory area which smaller than requested, resulting a heap overflow and possibly arbitrary code execution. For the old stable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 1.2.7-9 of the apr package, and version 1.2.7+dfsg-2+etch3 of the apr-util package. For the stable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 1.2.12-5+lenny1 of the apr package and version 1.2.12-5+lenny1 of the apr-util package. For the unstable distribution, this problem will be fixed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your APR packages.
