Fedora 22: subversion Security Update
Summary
Subversion is a concurrent version control system which enables one
or more users to collaborate in developing and maintaining a
hierarchy of files and directories while keeping a history of all
changes. Subversion only stores the differences between versions,
instead of every complete file. Subversion is intended to be a
compelling replacement for CVS.
Update Information:
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. https://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. https://subversion.apache.org/security/CVE-2015-3187-advisory.txt ### User- visible changes: #### Client-side bugfixes: * gpg-agent: fix crash with non- canonical $HOME * document svn:autoprops * cp: fix 'svn cp ^/A/D/H@1 ^/A' to properly create A * resolve: improve conflict prompts for binary files * ls: improve performance of '-v' on tag directories * improved Sqlite 3.8.9 query performance regression on externals * fixed [issue 4580](): 'svn -v st' on file externals reports "?" instead of user and revision after 'svn up' #### Client-side and server-side bugfixes: * fix a segfault with old style text delta #### Server-side bugfixes: * 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 * mod_dav_svn: do not ignore skel parsing errors * detect invalid svndiff data earlier * prevent possible repository corruption on power/disk failures * fixed [issue 4577](): Read error with nodes whose DELTA chain starts with a PLAIN rep * fixed [issue 4531](): server-side copy (over dav) is slow and uses too much memory #### Bindings bugfixes: * swig: fix memory corruption in svn_client_copy_source_t ### Developer-visible changes: #### General: * avoid failing some tests on versions of Python with a very old sqlite * fix Ruby tests so they don't use the users real configuration #### Bindings: * swig-pl: fix some stack memory problems
