Amazon Linux AMI : subversion (ALAS-2013-269)

low Nessus Plugin ID 71581

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The is_this_legal function in mod_dontdothat for Apache Subversion 1.4.0 through 1.7.13 and 1.8.0 through 1.8.4 allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions and possibly cause a denial of service (resource consumption) via a relative URL in a REPORT request.

The get_parent_resource function in repos.c in mod_dav_svn Apache HTTPD server module in Subversion 1.7.11 through 1.7.13 and 1.8.1 through 1.8.4, when built with assertions enabled and SVNAutoversioning is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and Apache process abort) via a non-canonical URL in a request, as demonstrated using a trailing /.

Solution

Run 'yum update subversion' to update your system.
