CVE-2023-49582: Apache Portable Runtime

Medium severity, CVSS 5.5. EPSS: 0.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

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.

Affected products

• Apache Portable Runtime: from 0.9.0, before 1.7.5 (fixed in 1.7.5)
