+ <title>Subversion: Remote heap overflow</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ Subversion is vulnerable to a remote Denial of Service that may be
+ exploitable to execute arbitrary code on the server running svnserve.

+ <affected>
+ <package name="dev-util/subversion" auto="yes" arch="*">

+ </affected>
+ <background>
+ <p>
+ Subversion is a revision control system that aims to be a "compelling
+ replacement for CVS". It enjoys wide use in the open source community.
+ svnserve allows access to Subversion repositories using URIs with the
+ svn://, svn+ssh://, and other tunelled svn+*:// protocols.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ The svn protocol parser trusts the indicated length of a URI string sent by
+ a client. This allows a client to specify a very long string, thereby
+ causing svnserve to allocate enough memory to hold that string. This may
+ cause a Denial of Service. Alternately, given a string that causes an
+ integer overflow in the variable holding the string length, the server
+ might allocate less memory than required, allowing a heap overflow. This
+ heap overflow may then be exploitable, allowing remote code execution. The
+ attacker does not need read or write access to the Subversion repository
+ being served, since even un-authenticated users can send svn protocol
+ requests.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ Ranges from remote Denial of Service to potential arbitrary code execution
+ with privileges of the svnserve process.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ Servers without svnserve running are not vulnerable. Disable svnserve and
+ use DAV for access instead.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All users should upgrade to the latest version of Subversion.
