Summary
The remote host is missing an update to apr
announced via advisory USN-813-1.
Solution
The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the following package versions:
Ubuntu 8.04 LTS:
libapr1 1.2.11-1ubuntu0.1
Ubuntu 8.10:
libapr1 1.2.12-4ubuntu0.1

Insight
Matt Lewis discovered that apr did not properly sanitize its input when allocating memory. If an application using apr processed crafted input, a remote attacker could cause a denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code as the user invoking the application.
