Debian DSA-3137-1 : websvn - security update

low Nessus Plugin ID 80972

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

James Clawson discovered that websvn, a web viewer for Subversion repositories, would follow symlinks in a repository when presenting a file for download. An attacker with repository write access could thereby access any file on disk readable by the user the webserver runs as.

Solution

Upgrade the websvn packages.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 2.3.3-1.1+deb7u1.
