| Doc Text: |
A flaw was found in Apache Portable Runtime Utility (apr-util). The `apr_password_validate()` function does not perform constant-time comparisons for hashes or passwords. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to conduct a timing attack, particularly on platforms without `crypt()` such as Windows, BeOS, NetWare, or Android. By observing the time differences in comparisons, an attacker could potentially deduce the content of sensitive information like password hashes.
