3. Description:

The Apache Portable Runtime (APR) is a portability library used by the
Apache HTTP Server and other projects. It provides a free library of C data
structures and routines.

The fix for CVE-2011-0419 (released via RHSA-2011:0507) introduced an
infinite loop flaw in the apr_fnmatch() function when the APR_FNM_PATHNAME
matching flag was used. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to
cause a denial of service on an application using the apr_fnmatch()
function. (CVE-2011-1928)

Note: This problem affected httpd configurations using the "Location"
directive with wildcard URLs. The denial of service could have been
triggered during normal operation; it did not specifically require a
malicious HTTP request.

This update also addresses additional problems introduced by the rewrite of
the apr_fnmatch() function, which was necessary to address the
CVE-2011-0419 flaw.

All apr users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a
backported patch to correct this issue. Applications using the apr library,
such as httpd, must be restarted for this update to take effect.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
