The subversion code is vulnerable to a remotely exploitable buffer
overflow on the heap. The bug appears before any authentication took
place. An attacker is able to execute arbitray code by abusing this
vulnerability.

There is no temporary workaround known.

Please download the update package for your distribution and verify its
integrity by the methods listed in section 3) of this announcement.
Then, install the package using the command 'rpm -Fhv file.rpm' to apply
the update.
