Amazon Linux 2 : subversion (ALAS-2020-1549)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 141947

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of subversion installed on the remote host is prior to 1.7.14-16. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2020-1549 advisory.

 In Apache Subversion versions up to and including 1.9.10, 1.10.4, 1.12.0, Subversion's svnserve server process may exit when a well-formed read-only request produces a particular answer. This can lead to disruption for users of the server. (CVE-2018-11782)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Run 'yum update subversion' to update your system.
