| Description: | Summary:
The remote host is missing an update to apr-util
announced via advisory MDVSA-2009:131-1.
Vulnerability Insight:
Multiple security vulnerabilities has been identified and fixed
in apr-util:
The apr_strmatch_precompile function in strmatch/apr_strmatch.c in
Apache APR-util before 1.3.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial
of service (daemon crash) via crafted input involving (1) a .htaccess
file used with the Apache HTTP Server, (2) the SVNMasterURI directive
in the mod_dav_svn module in the Apache HTTP Server, (3) the mod_apreq2
module for the Apache HTTP Server, or (4) an application that uses
the libapreq2 library, related to an underflow flaw. (CVE-2009-0023).
The expat XML parser in the apr_xml_* interface in xml/apr_xml.c in
Apache APR-util before 1.3.7, as used in the mod_dav and mod_dav_svn
modules in the Apache HTTP Server, allows remote attackers to
cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted XML
document containing a large number of nested entity references, as
demonstrated by a PROPFIND request, a similar issue to CVE-2003-1564
(CVE-2009-1955).
Off-by-one error in the apr_brigade_vprintf function in Apache APR-util
before 1.3.5 on big-endian platforms allows remote attackers to obtain
sensitive information or cause a denial of service (application crash)
via crafted input (CVE-2009-1956).
The updated packages have been patched to prevent this.
