Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in APR-util, which can be exploited by malicious users and malicious people to disclose potentially sensitive information or cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
1) A vulnerability is caused due to an error in the processing of XML files and can be exploited to exhaust all available memory via a specially crafted XML file containing a predefined entity inside an entity definition.
2) A vulnerability is caused due to an error within the "apr_strmatch_precompile()" function in strmatch/apr_strmatch.c, which can be exploited to crash an application using the library.
3) An off-by-one error within the "apr_brigade_vprintf()" function in buckets/apr_brigade.c can be exploited to disclose potentially sensitive information or crash an application using the library.
Successful exploitation may require a big-endian system.
