Topics Covered
Summary
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.
