--------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2004-308 2004-09-16 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Product : Fedora Core 2 Name : apr-util Version : 0.9.4 Release : 14.2 Summary : Apache Portable Runtime Utility library Description : The mission of the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) is to provide a free library of C data structures and routines. This library contains additional utility interfaces for APR; including support for XML, LDAP, database interfaces, URI parsing and more. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Testing using the Codenomicon HTTP Test Tool performed by the Apache Software Foundation security group and Red Hat uncovered an input validation issue in the IPv6 URI parsing routines in the apr-util library. If a remote attacker sent a request including a carefully crafted URI, an httpd child process could be made to crash. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0786 to this issue. This update includes a backported fix for this issue. --------------------------------------------------------------------- * Tue Sep 14 2004 Joe Orton <jorton@xxxxxxxxxx> 0.9.4-14.2 - add security fix for CAN-2004-0786 --------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be downloaded from: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/2/ 707beabca3584d07dbcd3614b80093cb SRPMS/apr-util-0.9.4-14.2.src.rpm 902896dacdd450d100949c5a5af98f93 x86_64/apr-util-0.9.4-14.2.x86_64.rpm 58781e97602be02bb0b37d7039aaed78 x86_64/apr-util-devel-0.9.4-14.2.x86_64.rpm 02ef6a9f2c5651c7db6cd33432b86058 x86_64/debug/apr-util-debuginfo-0.9.4-14.2.x86_64.rpm 70b1159aff827af2930b5488064c4a00 i386/apr-util-0.9.4-14.2.i386.rpm f602170d5cf714238b2a91f4ce4ae052 i386/apr-util-devel-0.9.4-14.2.i386.rpm d9b03f13abf22c32ac291da2ce2a5a10 i386/debug/apr-util-debuginfo-0.9.4-14.2.i386.rpm This update can also be installed with the Update Agent; you can launch the Update Agent with the 'up2date' command. ---------------------------------------------------------------------
