Kamesh Jayachandran and C. Michael Pilat discovered that the mod_dav_svn module of Subversion, a version control system, is not properly enforcing access rules which are scope-limited to named repositories. If the SVNPathAuthz option is set to ‘short_circuit’ set this may enable an unprivileged attacker to bypass intended access restrictions and disclose or modify repository content.

As a workaround it is also possible to set SVNPathAuthz to 'on' but be

repositories.

For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.5.1dfsg1-5."
