On Windows platforms, a "best fit" character encoding conversion of command line arguments to Subversion's executables (e.g., svn.exe, etc.) may lead to unexpected command line argument interpretation, including argument injection and execution of other programs, if a specially crafted command line argument string is processed. All versions of Subversion up to and including Subversion 1.14.3 are affected on Windows platforms only. Users are recommended to upgrade to version Subversion 1.14.4, which fixes this issue. Subversion is not affected on UNIX-like platforms.

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

  - On Windows platforms, a "best fit" character encoding conversion of command line arguments to Subversion's
    executables (e.g., svn.exe, etc.) may lead to unexpected command line argument interpretation, including
    argument injection and execution of other programs, if a specially crafted command line argument string is
    processed. All versions of Subversion up to and including Subversion 1.14.3 are affected on Windows
    platforms only. Users are recommended to upgrade to version Subversion 1.14.4, which fixes this issue.
    Subversion is not affected on UNIX-like platforms. (CVE-2024-45720)

  - Insufficient validation of filenames against control characters in Apache Subversion repositories served
    via mod_dav_svn allows authenticated users with commit access to commit a corrupted revision, leading to
    disruption for users of the repository. All versions of Subversion up to and including Subversion 1.14.4
    are affected if serving repositories via mod_dav_svn. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 1.14.5,
    which fixes this issue. Repositories served via other access methods are not affected. (CVE-2024-46901)

The remote Fedora 41 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2024-93e88b1c0d advisory.

    This release contains a fix for a security issue: CVE-2024-46901

    See https://subversion.apache.org/security/CVE-2024-46901-advisory.txt for more information.

    Changes in this release are:

    * Fix printf-format build warnings in swig-rb (r1921264)
    * Add a regression test for CVE-2024-45720 (r1921266)
    * Make swig-py compatible with SWIG 4.3.0 (r1921505)


Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The installed version of Subversion is prior to 1.14.4 and is, therefore,   affected by a vulnerability that may lead to unexpected command line argument interpretation,   including argument injection and execution of other programs, if a   specially crafted command line argument string is processed.
