CWE-399  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade RHEL:6 apr-devel to version 0:1.3.9-3.el6_1.2 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2011:0844.

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.

The fnmatch implementation in apr_fnmatch.c in the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) library 1.4.3 and 1.4.4, and the Apache HTTP Server 2.2.18, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a URI that does not match unspecified types of wildcard patterns, as demonstrated by attacks against mod_autoindex in httpd when a /*/WEB-INF/ configuration pattern is used. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incorrect fix for CVE-2011-0419.
