This update includes the latest stable release of _Apache Subversion 1.8_, version **1.8.15**. This update fixes two security issues: *
**CVE-2015-3184**: Subversion's mod_authz_svn does not properly restrict anonymous access in some mixed anonymous/authenticated environments when using Apache httpd 2.4.
http://subversion.apache.org/security/CVE-2015-3184-advisory.txt *
**CVE-2015-3187**: Subversion servers, both httpd and svnserve, will reveal some paths that should be hidden by path-based authz.

Ivan Zhakov discovered an integer overflow in mod_dav_svn, which allows an attacker with write access to the server to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service.

The oldstable distribution (wheezy) is not affected.

It was found that when an SVN server (both svnserve and httpd with the mod_dav_svn module) searched the history of a file or a directory, it would disclose its location in the repository if that file or directory was not readable (for example, if it had been moved).
(CVE-2015-3187)

An integer overflow was discovered allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an svn:// protocol string, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow and an out-of-bounds read. (CVE-2015-5259)

It was found that the mod_authz_svn module did not properly restrict anonymous access to Subversion repositories under certain configurations when used with Apache httpd 2.4.x. This could allow a user to anonymously access files in a Subversion repository, which should only be accessible to authenticated users. (CVE-2015-3184)

It was found that the mod_dav_svn module was vulnerable to a remotely triggerable heap-based buffer overflow and out-of-bounds read caused by an integer overflow when parsing skel-encoded request bodies, allowing an attacker with write access to a repository to cause a denial of service attack (on 32-bit or 64-bit servers) or possibly execute arbitrary code (on 32-bit servers only) under the context of the httpd process. (CVE-2015-5343)

This update for subversion fixes the following issues :

  - Apache Subversion 1.8.15 This release fixes one security     issue: Remotely triggerable heap overflow and     out-of-bounds read in mod_dav_svn caused by integer     overflow when parsing skel-encoded request bodies.
    CVE-2015-5343 [boo#958300]

  - fix a segfault with old style text delta

  - fsfs: reduce memory allocation with Apache

  - mod_dav_svn: emit first log items as soon as possible

  - mod_dav_svn: use LimitXMLRequestBody for skel-encoded     requests

  - swig: fix memory corruption in svn_client_copy_source_t

  - better configure-time detection of httpd authz fix (drop     subversion-1.8.14-httpd-version-number-detection.patch,     replace subversion-1.8.9-allow-httpd-2.4.6.patch with     subversion-1.8.15-allow-httpd-2.4.6.patch as a result

This update fixes the following security issues :

  - CVE-2015-5343: Possible remotely triggerable heap     overflow and out-of-bounds read in mod_dav_svn caused by     integer overflow when parsing skel-encoded request     bodies. (bsc#958300)

  - CVE-2015-3184: mod_authz_svn information leak     information in mixed anonymous/authenticated httpd (dav)     configurations (bsc#939514)

  - CVE-2015-3187: hidden paths leaked by path-based authz     (bsc#939517)

According to the versions of the subversion packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Integer overflow in util.c in mod_dav_svn in Apache     Subversion 1.7.x, 1.8.x before 1.8.15, and 1.9.x before     1.9.3 allows remote authenticated users to cause a     denial of service (subversion server crash or memory     consumption) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a     skel-encoded request body, which triggers an     out-of-bounds read and heap-based buffer     overflow.(CVE-2015-5343)

  - The canonicalize_username function in     svnserve/cyrus_auth.c in Apache Subversion before     1.8.16 and 1.9.x before 1.9.4, when Cyrus SASL     authentication is used, allows remote attackers to     authenticate and bypass intended access restrictions     via a realm string that is a prefix of an expected     repository realm string.(CVE-2016-2167)

  - The req_check_access function in the mod_authz_svn     module in the httpd server in Apache Subversion before     1.8.16 and 1.9.x before 1.9.4 allows remote     authenticated users to cause a denial of service (NULL     pointer dereference and crash) via a crafted header in     a (1) MOVE or (2) COPY request, involving an     authorization check.(CVE-2016-2168)

  - Apache Subversion's mod_dontdothat module and HTTP     clients 1.4.0 through 1.8.16, and 1.9.0 through 1.9.4     are vulnerable to a denial-of-service attack caused by     exponential XML entity expansion. The attack can cause     the targeted process to consume an excessive amount of     CPU resources or memory.(CVE-2016-8734)

New subversion packages are available for Slackware 14.0, 14.1, and
-current to fix security issues.

The version of Apache Subversion installed on the remote host is 1.7.x, 1.8.x prior to 1.8.15, or 1.9.x prior to 1.9.3 and is affected by a buffer overflow vulnerability. Specifically, these versions contain an integer overflow condition in the 'request_body_to_string()' function in 'mod_dav_svn/util.c' that is triggered when handling skel-encoded request bodies. This may allow an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a heap-based buffer overflow, crashing the service or potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-5343)
