Apache Subversion 1.8.x < 1.8.2 Multiple Vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 71567

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host has an application that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Subversion Server installed on the remote host is prior to version 1.8.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- A repository corruption vulnerability related to 'FileSystem atop the FileSystem' (FSFS) repositories and handling packed revision properties editing.
(CVE-2013-4246)

- A symlink privilege escalation vulnerability in 'svnwcsub.py' and 'irkerbridge.py' exists when the
--pidfile option is used. The option creates temporary files insecurely, and may allow a local attacker to use a symlink attack against a pid file to gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2013-7393)

Solution

Upgrade to Subversion Server 1.8.3 or later, or apply the vendor patch or workaround.

Note that version 1.8.2 was not publicly released, and thus version 1.8.3 is the recommended version.
