Synopsis
=======
Memory consumption errors in Apache Portable Runtime and APR Utility
Library could result in Denial of Service.

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

Description
==========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Apache Portable
Runtime and APR Utility Library. Please review the CVE identifiersreferenced 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"
