Ubuntu 22.04 LTS : APR vulnerability (USN-5885-1)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 171926

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-5885-1 advisory.

Ronald Crane discovered integer overflow vulnerabilities in the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) that could potentially result in memory corruption. A remote attacker could possibly use these issues to cause a denial of service or execute arbitary code.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected libapr1 and / or libapr1-dev packages.
