    <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 database connections. 
    </p>

    <p>Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Apache Portable Runtime
      and APR Utility Library. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced
      below for details.

  <impact type="low">
    <p>A remote attacker could cause a Denial of Service condition.</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-1.4.8-r1"
    </code>
    
    <p>All users of the APR Utility Library should upgrade to the latest
      version:
    </p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-libs/apr-util-1.3.10"
    </code>
    
    <p>Packages which depend on these libraries may need to be recompiled.
      Tools such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying some of these
      packages.
