Details

An updated apr-util package that fixes a bug is now available.

apr-util is a utility library which is used with the Apache Portable
Runtime.

This updated package addresses the following bug:

* XML attribute namespace handling in the apr_xml interface could cause
malformed WebDAV responses to be sent from the mod_dav module if a
particular property name or value was used. This is a rare but severe
problem which can be triggered by particular uses of RDF with WebDAV.

Users are advised to upgrade to this updated apr-util package which
resolves this issue.
