Synopsis

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

Description

The Serf RA layer in Apache Subversion 1.4.0 through 1.7.x before 1.7.18 and 1.8.x before 1.8.10 does not properly handle wildcards in the Common Name (CN) or subjectAltName field of the X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers via a crafted certificate.

Solution

Run 'yum update subversion' to update your system.
