Mageia 2021-0429 advisory delivers a security patch addressing a vulnerability in the Apache Portable Runtime related to buffer overflow issues released on Sep 24, 2021.
An out-of-bounds array read in the apr_time_exp*() functions was fixed in the Apache Portable Runtime 1.6.3 release (CVE-2017-12613)

Summary

An out-of-bounds array read in the apr_time_exp*() functions was fixed in the Apache Portable Runtime 1.6.3 release (CVE-2017-12613). The fix for this issue was not carried forward to the APR 1.7.x branch, and hence version 1.7.0 regressed compared to 1.6.3 and is vulnerable to the same issue. (CVE-2021-35940)
