Synopsis
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Multiple integer overflows, leading to heap-based buffer overflows in
the Subversion client and server might allow remote attackers to
execute arbitrary code.
Background
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Subversion is a versioning system designed to be a replacement for CVS.
Affected packages
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 dev-util/subversion < 1.6.4 >=3D 1.6.4
Description
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Matt Lewis of Google reported multiple integer overflows in the
libsvn_delta library, possibly leading to heap-based buffer overflows.
Impact
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
A remote attacker with commit access could exploit this vulnerability
by sending a specially crafted commit to a Subversion server, or a
remote attacker could entice a user to check out or update a repository
from a malicious Subversion server, possibly resulting in the execution
of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the server or
client.
Workaround
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
All Subversion users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose =3Ddev-util/subversion-1.6.4
