The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  • subversion: Command injection through clients via malicious svn+ssh URLs (CVE-2017-9800)

  • The canonicalize_username function in svnserve/cyrus_auth.c in Apache Subversion before 1.8.16 and 1.9.x before 1.9.4, when Cyrus SASL authentication is used, allows remote attackers to authenticate and bypass intended access restrictions via a realm string that is a prefix of an expected repository realm string.
    (CVE-2016-2167)

  • The req_check_access function in the mod_authz_svn module in the httpd server in Apache Subversion before 1.8.16 and 1.9.x before 1.9.4 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and crash) via a crafted header in a (1) MOVE or (2) COPY request, involving an authorization check. (CVE-2016-2168)

  • In Apache Subversion versions up to and including 1.9.10, 1.10.4, 1.12.0, Subversion’s svnserve server process may exit when a well-formed read-only request produces a particular answer. This can lead to disruption for users of the server. (CVE-2018-11782)

  • Apache Subversion SVN authz protected copyfrom paths regression Subversion servers reveal ‘copyfrom’ paths that should be hidden according to configured path-based authorization (authz) rules. When a node has been copied from a protected location, users with access to the copy can see the ‘copyfrom’ path of the original. This also reveals the fact that the node was copied. Only the ‘copyfrom’ path is revealed; not its contents. Both httpd and svnserve servers are vulnerable. (CVE-2021-28544)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager’s report that the package is installed.
