Debian DLA-293-1 : subversion security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 85419

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

C. Michael Pilato, from CollabNet, reported an issue in the version control system Subversion.

CVE-2015-3187

Subversion servers revealed some sensible paths hidden by path-based authorization. Remote authenticated users were allowed to obtain path information by reading the history of a node that has been moved from a hidden path. The vulnerability only revealed the path, though it didn't reveal its content.

For Debian 6 'Squeeze', this issue has been fixed in subversion 1.6.12dfsg-7+deb6u3. We recommend to upgrade your subversion packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
