*) SECURITY: CVE-2026-32327: Apache Portable Runtime Utility:
apr-util XML stack recursion crash (cve.mitre.org)
A bug in APR-util version 1.6.3 (and earlier) allows a stack
recursion attack against any library consumer which parses XML
from untrusted sources and uses the apr_xml_quote_elem()
function.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 1.6.4, which fixes
this issue.

*) SECURITY: CVE-2025-49506: apr_password_validate() vulnerable to
timing attack (cve.mitre.org)
APR-util versions 1.6.3 (and earlier) function
apr_password_validate() was not constant-time with regards to
hashes or passwords comparisons, potentially leaking their
content via a side channel timing attack particularly on
platforms without crypt() such as Windows, BeOS, NetWare, or
Android.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 1.6.4, which fixes
this issue.

*) apr_brigade: Don't split the final LF in apr_brigade_split_line() to
avoid producing an empty bucket. PR 64273
[Barnim Dzwillo <dzwillo strato.de>, Joe Orton]
*) apr_brigade: Metadata buckets are now ignored in
apr_brigade_split_line, apr_brigade_flatten and
apr_brigade_to_iovec, fixing possible undefined behaviour. PR 68278
[Ben Kallus <benjamin.p.kallus.gr dartmouth.edu>, Joe Orton]
*) apr_crypto_openssl: Compatibility with OpenSSL 3. [Yann Ylavic]
*) apr_crypto_openssl: use OPENSSL_init_crypto() to initialise OpenSSL
on versions 1.1+. [Graham Leggett]
*) apr_memcache: Fix name lookup to allow IPv6 as well as IPv4.
[Lubos Uhliarik <luhliari redhat.com>]
*) configure: Fix Berkeley DB detection with compilers enforcing
strict C99 compliance. PR 66396.
[Florian Weimer <fweimer redhat.com>]
Changes with APR-util 1.6.3
*) Correct a packaging issue in 1.6.2. The contents of the release were
correct, but the top level directory was misnamed.
Changes with APR-util 1.6.2
*) SECURITY: CVE-2022-25147 (cve.mitre.org)
Integer Overflow or Wraparound vulnerability in apr_base64 functions
of Apache Portable Runtime Utility (APR-util) allows an attacker to
write beyond bounds of a buffer.
*) Teach configure how to find and build against MariaDB 10.2. PR 61517
[Kris Karas <bugs-a17 moonlit-rail.com>]
*) apr_crypto_commoncrypto: Remove stray reference to -lcrypto that
prevented commoncrypto being enabled. [Graham Leggett]
*) Add --tag=CC to libtool invocations. PR 62640. [Michael Osipov]
*) apr_dbm_gdbm: Fix handling of error codes. This makes gdbm 1.14 work.
apr_dbm_gdbm will now also return error codes starting with
APR_OS_START_USEERR, as apr_dbm_berkleydb does, instead of always
returning APR_EGENERAL. [Stefan Fritsch]
Changes with APR-util 1.6.1
*) Win32: Add function exports from new apr_crypto API's missing in 1.6.0.
*) Win32: Introduce XML_PARSER build-time variable to select the expat
library name to be linked to libaprutil-1.dll. See Makefile.win
*) Win32: Removed lingering xml/xml.dsp project forked from the expat
Project in the 1.9x era. Use expat's maintained build schema instead,
prior to building apr-util.
*) apr_crypto: Fix compatibility with LibreSSL. PR 61596.
[Bernard Spil <brnrd freebsd.org>, Yann Ylavic]
*) sdbm: better database/page validation to fail cleanly when corrupted.
[Yann Ylavic]
Changes with APR-util 1.6.0
*) The expat dependency of apr-util is no longer built with apr-util.
Install expat (including development headers and libraries) first
before building apr-util. [https://libexpat.github.io/]
*) Mark apr_dbd_freetds as unsupported, and remove it from all builds
[Nick Kew]
*) Update MySQL build to stop using libmysqlclient_r.
[Petr Sumbera <petr.sumbera oracle.com>]
*) apr_buckets: Add apr_bucket_file_set_buf_size() which allows to configure
the size of the buffer used to read files. [Yann Ylavic]
*) apr_crypto: avoid excessive iteration in bcrypt hash.
[Hanno Böck <hanno hboeck.de>]
*) apr_siphash: Implement keyed hash function SipHash. [Yann Ylavic]
*) apr_crypto: Add apr_crypto_key() function which supports keys
generated from a passphrase or a raw secret provided by the caller.
Deprecate apr_crypto_passphrase(). [Graham Leggett]
*) apr_crypto_nss: Ensure the SECItem returned by PK11_ParamFromIV
is properly freed. [Graham Leggett]
*) apr_crypto: Don't cache the driver if initialisation fails. This
stops the second and subsequent attempt to use the API from failing
claiming the library is not initialised. [Graham Leggett]
*) apr_crypto: Add a native CommonCrypto implementation for iOS and OSX
where OpenSSL has been deprecated. [Graham Leggett]
*) apr_xml_to_text: Add style APR_XML_X2T_PARSED to maintain a
consistent namespace prefix. [Jari Urpalainen
