<p>
The Apache Portable Runtime (aka APR) provides a set of APIs for
creating platform-independent applications. The Apache Portable Runtime
Utility Library (aka APR-Util) provides an interface to functionality
such as XML parsing, string matching and databases connections.

<description>
<p>
Matt Lewis reported multiple Integer overflows in the apr_rmm_malloc(),
apr_rmm_calloc(), and apr_rmm_realloc() functions in misc/apr_rmm.c of
APR-Util and in memory/unix/apr_pools.c of APR, both occurring when
aligning memory blocks.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
A remote attacker could entice a user to connect to a malicious server
with software that uses the APR or act as a malicious client to a
server that uses the APR (such as Subversion or Apache servers),
possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the
privileges of the user running the application.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All Apache Portable Runtime users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-libs/apr-1.3.8"</code>
<p>
All APR Utility Library users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-libs/apr-util-1.3.9"</code>
