Apache Subversion 1.7.x < 1.7.19 / 1.8.x < 1.8.11 Multiple Remote DoS

medium Nessus Plugin ID 80864

Synopsis

The remote host is affected by multiple remote denial of service vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote host is running a version of Apache SVN 1.7.x prior to 1.7.19 or 1.8.x prior to 1.8.11. It is, therefore, affected by multiple denial of service vulnerabilities :

- A NULL pointer dereference flaw exists in 'mod_dav_svn' that is triggered when handling REPORT requests. A remote attacker, using a specially crafted request, can cause the listener process to crash. (CVE-2014-3580)

- A NULL pointer dereference flaw exists in 'mod_dav_svn' that is triggered when handling requests for non-existent virtual transaction names. A remote attacker, using a specially crafted request, can cause the listener process to crash. (CVE-2014-8108)

Solution

Upgrade to Subversion 1.7.19 / 1.8.11 or later.
