This update for subversion to 1.9.7 fixes security issues and bugs.

The following vulnerabilities were fixed:

  • CVE-2017-9800: A remote attacker could have caused svn clients to
    execute arbitrary code via specially crafted URLs in svn:externals and
    svn:sync-from-url properties. (boo#1051362)
  • CVE-2005-4900: SHA-1 collisions may cause repository inconsistencies
    (boo#1026936)

The following bugfix changes are included:

  • Add instructions for running svnserve as a user different from "svn",
    and remove sysconfig variables that are no longer effective with the
    systemd unit. (boo#1049448)
