    Several vulnerabilities were discovered in apr-util, the Apache Portable     Runtime Utility library, which could result in denial of service or     potentially the execution of arbitrary code.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version     1.6.1-5+deb11u2.

    For Debian 12 bookworm, these problems have been fixed in version     1.6.3-1+deb12u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your apr-util packages.

    For the detailed security status of apr-util please refer to     its security tracker page at:

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

  - APR-util versions 1.6.3 (and earlier) function apr_password_validate() was not constant-time with regards
    to hashes or passwords comparisons, potentially leaking their content via a side channel timing attack
    particularly on platforms without crypt() such as Windows, BeOS, NetWare, or Android. Users are
    recommended to upgrade to version 1.6.4, which fixes this issue. (CVE-2025-49506)

  - A bug in APR-util version 1.6.3 (and earlier) allows a stack recursion attack against any library consumer
    which parses XML from untrusted sources and uses the apr_xml_quote_elem() function. Users are recommended
    to upgrade to version 1.6.4, which fixes this issue. (CVE-2026-32327)

  - Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability in
    Apache Portable Runtime Utility via apr_dbd_oracle provider. This issue affects Apache Portable Runtime
    Utility: from 1.6.0 through 1.6.3 (CVE-2026-34191)

  - Heap-based Buffer Overflow vulnerability in Apache Portable Runtime Utility redis client. This issue
    affects Apache Portable Runtime Utility: from 1.6.0 through 1.6.3. Users are recommended to upgrade to
    version 1.6.4, which fixes the issue. (CVE-2026-34501)

  - Heap-based Buffer Overflow vulnerability in Apache Portable Runtime Utility memcached client This issue
    affects Apache Portable Runtime Utility: from 1.3.0 through 1.6.3. (CVE-2026-34502)

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability in     Apache Portable Runtime Utility via apr_dbd_oracle provider. This issue affects Apache Portable Runtime     Utility: from 1.6.0 through 1.6.3 (CVE-2026-34191)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
