Package : subversion
Vulnerability : several
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CVE-2013-1968 CVE-2013-2112
Debian Bug : 711033

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in Subversion, a version control
system. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the
following problems:

CVE-2013-1968

Subversion repositories with the FSFS repository data store format
can be corrupted by newline characters in filenames. A remote
attacker with a malicious client could use this flaw to disrupt the
service for other users using that repository.

CVE-2013-2112

Subversion's svnserve server process may exit when an incoming TCP
connection is closed early in the connection process. A remote
attacker can cause svnserve to exit and thus deny service to users
of the server.

For the oldstable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.6.12dfsg-7.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.6.17dfsg-4+deb7u3.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your subversion packages.
