APR-util 1.6.0 and prior failed to validate the integrity of SDBM database files used by apr_sdbm*() functions, resulting in a possible out of bound read access. A local user with write access to the database can make a program or process using these functions crash, and cause a denial of service. 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. QUESTIONS: ========== If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is the appropriate place. -- David Rothenberger ---- daveroth@acm.org
