+ <p>
+ 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>
+ Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in the APR Utility
+ Library:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Matthew Palmer reported a heap-based buffer
+ underflow while compiling search patterns in the
+ apr_strmatch_precompile() function in strmatch/apr_strmatch.c
+ (CVE-2009-0023).</li>
+ <li>kcope reported that the expat XML parser in
+ xml/apr_xml.c does not limit the amount of XML entities expanded
+ recursively (CVE-2009-1955).</li>
+ <li>C. Michael Pilato reported an
+ off-by-one error in the apr_brigade_vprintf() function in
+ buckets/apr_brigade.c (CVE-2009-1956).</li>
+ </ul>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to cause a Denial
+ of Service (crash or memory exhaustion) via an Apache HTTP server
+ running mod_dav or mod_dav_svn, or using several configuration files.
+ Additionally, a remote attacker could disclose sensitive information or
+ cause a Denial of Service by sending a specially crafted input. NOTE:
+ Only big-endian architectures such as PPC and HPPA are affected by the
+ latter flaw.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Apache Portable Runtime Utility Library users should upgrade to the
+ latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-libs/apr-util-1.3.7"</code>
