Package : subversion
CVE ID : CVE-2016-2167 CVE-2016-2168

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

CVE-2016-2167

Daniel Shahaf and James McCoy discovered that an implementation
error in the authentication against the Cyrus SASL library would
permit a remote user to specify a realm string which is a prefix of
the expected realm string and potentially allowing a user to
authenticate using the wrong realm.

CVE-2016-2168

Ivan Zhakov of VisualSVN discovered a remotely triggerable denial
of service vulnerability in the mod_authz_svn module during COPY or
MOVE authorization check. An authenticated remote attacker could
take advantage of this flaw to cause a denial of service
(Subversion server crash) via COPY or MOVE requests with specially
crafted header.

For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.8.10-6+deb8u4.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.9.4-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your subversion packages.
