Debian DSA-4851-1 : subversion - security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 146514

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

Thomas Akesson discovered a remotely triggerable vulnerability in the mod_authz_svn module in Subversion, a version control system. When using in-repository authz rules with the AuthzSVNReposRelativeAccessFile option an unauthenticated remote client can take advantage of this flaw to cause a denial of service by sending a request for a non-existing repository URL.

Solution

Upgrade the subversion packages.

For the stable distribution (buster), this problem has been fixed in version 1.10.4-1+deb10u2.
