NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream apr-util package and not the apr-util package as distributed by Ubuntu.

Memory leak in the poolGrow function in expat/lib/xmlparse.c in expat before 2.1.0 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a large number of crafted XML files that cause improperly-handled reallocation failures when expanding entities.
