Packages

Details

USN-813-1 fixed vulnerabilities in apr. This update provides the
corresponding updates for apr as provided by Apache on Ubuntu 6.06 LTS.

Original advisory details:

Matt Lewis discovered that apr did not properly sanitize its input when
allocating memory. If an application using apr processed crafted input, a
remote attacker could cause a denial of service or potentially execute
arbitrary code as the user invoking the application.

Update instructions

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 6.06

• libapr0 - 2.0.55-4ubuntu2.7

After a standard system upgrade you need to restart any applications using
apr, such as Subversion and Apache, to effect the necessary changes.
