CVE-2023-49582  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-732  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:10 apr.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream apr package and not the apr package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

Lax permissions set by the Apache Portable Runtime library on Unix platforms would allow local users read access to named shared memory segments, potentially revealing sensitive application data.

This issue does not affect non-Unix platforms, or builds with APR_USE_SHMEM_SHMGET=1 (apr.h)

Users are recommended to upgrade to APR version 1.7.5, which fixes this issue.
