DESCRIPTION
Subversion[1] is a compelling replacement for CVS.
All subversions versions prior to and including 1.0.7 are vulnerable
to a bug in mod_authz_svn that could allow sensitive metadata of
protected areas to be leaked to unauthorized users, characterizing an
information leak vulnerability.
For further information about this vulnerability, please refer to
Tigris' announcement[2].
SOLUTION
It is recommended that all subversion users upgrade their packages.
IMPORTANT: if subversion is being used in conjunction with apache,
you must restart apache server after upgrading in order to really
close the vulnerability.
ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS
The apt tool can be used to perform RPM packages upgrades:
- run: apt-get update
- after that, execute: apt-get upgrade
Detailed instructions regarding the use of apt and upgrade examples
can be found at http://distro.conectiva.com.br/atualizacoes/#apt?idioma=en
