Lax permissions set by the Apache Portable Runtime library on Unix platforms would allow local users read access to named shared memory segments, potentially revealing sensitive application data.
This issue does not affect non-Unix platforms, or builds with APR_USE_SHMEM_SHMGET=1 (apr.h)
Users are recommended to upgrade to APR version 1.7.5, which fixes this issue.
Apache Portable Runtime (APR): out-of-bound writes in the apr_encode family of functions
Integer Overflow or Wraparound vulnerability in apr_encode functions of Apache Portable Runtime (APR) allows an attacker to write beyond bounds of a buffer.
This issue affects Apache Portable Runtime (APR) version 1.7.0.
An out-of-bounds array read in the apr_time_exp*() functions was fixed in the Apache Portable Runtime 1.6.3 release (CVE-2017-12613). The fix for this issue was not carried forward to the APR 1.7.x branch, and hence version 1.7.0 regressed compared to 1.6.3 and is vulnerable to the same issue.
