Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'apr'
package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
A vulnerability has been found and corrected in ASF APR:

tables/apr_hash.c in the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) library through
1.4.5 computes hash values without restricting the ability to trigger
hash collisions predictably, which allows context-dependent attackers
to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via crafted input to
an application that maintains a hash table (CVE-2012-0840).

APR has been upgraded to the latest version (1.4.6) which holds
many improvements over the previous versions and is not vulnerable to
this issue.

Affected Software/OS:
apr on Mandriva Linux 2011.0,
Mandriva Enterprise Server 5.2,
Mandriva Linux 2010.1

Solution:
Please Install the Updated Packages.

CVSS Score:
