RHEL 5 / 6 : subversion (RHSA-2011:0862)

high Nessus Plugin ID 55016

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for subversion.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 / 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2011:0862 advisory.

- subversion (mod_dav_svn): DoS (crash) via request to deliver baselined WebDAV resources (CVE-2011-1752)

- subversion (mod_dav_svn): DoS (excessive memory use) when configured to provide path-based access control (CVE-2011-1783)

- subversion (mod_dav_svn): File contents disclosure of files configured to be unreadable by those users (CVE-2011-1921)

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

Solution

Update the RHEL subversion package based on the guidance in RHSA-2011:0862.
