There is no fixed version for RHEL:6 apr-devel.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream apr-devel package and not the apr-devel package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

tables/apr_hash.c in the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) library through 1.4.5 computes hash values without restricting the ability to trigger hash collisions predictably, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via crafted input to an application that maintains a hash table.
