(RHSA-2014:0255) Moderate: subversion security update

Subversion (SVN) is a concurrent version control system which enables one
or more users to collaborate in developing and maintaining a hierarchy of
files and directories while keeping a history of all changes. The
mod_dav_svn module is used with the Apache HTTP Server to allow access to
Subversion repositories via HTTP.

A flaw was found in the way the mod_dav_svn module handled OPTIONS
requests. A remote attacker with read access to an SVN repository served
via HTTP could use this flaw to cause the httpd process that handled such a
request to crash. (CVE-2014-0032)

A flaw was found in the way Subversion handled file names with newline
characters when the FSFS repository format was used. An attacker with
commit access to an SVN repository could corrupt a revision by committing a
specially crafted file. (CVE-2013-1968)

A flaw was found in the way the svnserve tool of Subversion handled remote
client network connections. An attacker with read access to an SVN
repository served via svnserve could use this flaw to cause the svnserve
daemon to exit, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2013-2112)

All subversion users should upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain backported patches to correct these issues. After installing the
updated packages, for the update to take effect, you must restart the httpd
daemon, if you are using mod_dav_svn, and the svnserve daemon, if you are
serving Subversion repositories via the svn:// protocol.
