Critical: apr security update (Amazon Linux 2023)

Published Feb 17, 2023 · Updated Feb 22, 2023

Summary

Package updates are available for Amazon Linux 2023 that fix the following vulnerabilities: CVE-2022-24963: Integer Overflow or Wraparound vulnerability in apr_base64 functions of Apache Portable Runtime Utility (APR-util) allows an attacker to write beyond bounds of a buffer. This issue affects Apache Portable Runtime Utility (APR-util) 1.6.1 and prior versions. CVE-2021-35940: An out-of-bounds array read in the apr_time_exp*() functions was fixed in the Apache Portable Runtime 1.6.3 release (CVE-2017-12613). The fix for this issue was not carried forward to the APR 1.7.x branch, and hence version 1.7.0 regressed compared to 1.6.3 and is vulnerable to the same issue.
