--------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Topic:
Updated subversion packages that fix several security issues are now available.
Subversion versions up to 1.0.2 are vulnerable to a date parsing vulnerability which can be abused to allow remote code execution on Subversion servers and therefore could lead to a repository compromise. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0397 to this issue.
Subversion versions up to and including 1.0.4 have a potential Denial of Service and Heap Overflow issue related to the parsing of strings in the 'svn://' family of access protocols. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0413 to this issue.
Users of subversion are advised to upgrade to these errata packages, which contain backported patches correcting these issues.
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
