This version is built for Cygwin 1.7. NEWS: ===== This release addresses two security vulnerabilities by applying patches from Debian. "kcope" discovered a flaw in the handling of internal XML entities in the apr_xml_* interface that can be exploited to use all available memory. This denial of service can be triggered remotely in the Apache mod_dav and mod_dav_svn modules. (No CVE id yet) Matthew Palmer discovered an underflow flaw in the apr_strmatch_precompile function that can be exploited to cause a daemon crash. The vulnerability can be triggered (1) remotely in mod_dav_svn for Apache if the "SVNMasterURI"directive is in use, (2) remotely in mod_apreq2 for Apache or other applications using libapreq2, or (3) locally in Apache by a crafted ".htaccess" file. (CVE-2009-0023) Other exploit paths in other applications using libaprutil1 may exist. If you use Apache, or if you use svnserve in standalone mode, you need to restart the services after you upgraded the libaprutil1 package. This package includes plugins for ldap, PostgreSQL, and SQLite3. It is still linked against libdb4.2. DESCRIPTION: ============ The mission of the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) project is to create and maintain software libraries that provide a predictable and consistent interface to underlying platform-specific implementations. The primary goal is to provide an API to which software developers may code and be assured of predictable if not identical behaviour regardless of the platform on which their software is built, relieving them of the need to code special-case conditions to work around or take advantage of platform-specific deficiencies or features.
