Synopsis:	Moderate: apr security update
Issue date:	2011-05-11
CVE Names:	CVE-2011-0419

It was discovered that the apr_fnmatch() function used an unconstrained
recursion when processing patterns with the '*' wildcard. An attacker 
could use this flaw to cause an application using this function, which 
also accepted untrusted input as a pattern for matching (such as an 
httpd server using the mod_autoindex module), to exhaust all stack 
memory or use an excessive amount of CPU time when performing matching. 
(CVE-2011-0419)

Applications using the apr library, such as httpd, must be restarted for 
this update to take effect.
