Synopsis
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Subversion and Serf, the worst of which could lead to execution of arbitrary code.
Background
Subversion is a version control system intended to eventually replace
CVS. Like CVS, it has an optional client-server architecture (where the
server can be an Apache server running mod_svn, or an ssh program as in
CVS's :ext: method). In addition to supporting the features found in
CVS, Subversion also provides support for moving and copying files and
directories.
The serf library is a high performance C-based HTTP client library
built upon the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) library.
Affected Packages
------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 dev-vcs/subversion < 1.9.4 >= 1.9.4 *> 1.8.16 2 net-libs/serf < 1.3.7 >= 1.3.7 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 affected packages
Impact
===== A remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the process, conduct a man-in-the-middle attack, obtain sensitive information, or cause a Denial of Service Condition.
Workaround
There is no known workaround at this time.
