Slackware 14.1: 2016-097-01 Critical: Subversion Buffer Overflow

Calendar Grey April 6, 2016
Dist Slackware Esm H88
Recent subversion updates for Slackware tackle critical security threats, specifically buffer overflow issues. Ensure timely application of these patches.
New subversion packages are available for Slackware 14.0, 14.1, and -current to fix security issues

Summary

Here are the details from the Slackware 14.1 ChangeLog: patches/packages/subversion-1.7.22-i486-1_slack14.1.txz: Upgraded. Subversion servers and clients are vulnerable to a remotely triggerable heap-based buffer overflow and out-of-bounds read that may allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code under the context of the targeted process. For more information, see: https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2015-5343 (* Security fix *)
