APR-util vulnerability

CVE-2017-12618 APR-util vulnerability
Title: APR-util vulnerability
Summary: APR-util could be made to crash or leak sensitive information if it opened
a specially crafted SDBM file.
It was discovered that APR-util did not properly handle memory when using
SDBM database files. A local attacker with write access to the database
can make a program or process using these functions crash, and cause a
denial of service.
Instructions: After a standard system update you need to restart any applications using
APR-util, such as Subversion and Apache, to make all the necessary changes.
