Synopsis:	Moderate: apr and apr-util security update
Issue date:	2009-08-10
CVE Names:	CVE-2009-2412

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

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)

Applications using the APR libraries, such as httpd, must be restarted
for this update to take effect.
