Synopsis:	Moderate: apr-util security update
Issue date:	2010-12-07
CVE Names:	CVE-2010-1623

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)

Applications using the apr-util library, such as httpd, must be
restarted for this update to take effect.
