high Nessus Plugin ID 66846

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in Subversion, a version control system. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

- CVE-2013-1968 Subversion repositories with the FSFS repository data store format can be corrupted by newline characters in filenames. A remote attacker with a malicious client could use this flaw to disrupt the service for other users using that repository.

- CVE-2013-2112 Subversion's svnserve server process may exit when an incoming TCP connection is closed early in the connection process. A remote attacker can cause svnserve to exit and thus deny service to users of the server.

Solution

Upgrade the subversion packages.

For the oldstable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in version 1.6.12dfsg-7.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in version 1.6.17dfsg-4+deb7u3.
