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.
