Synopsis
========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Subversion and Serf, the
worst of which could lead to execution of arbitrary code.
Background
==========
Subversion is a version control system intended to eventually replace
CVS. Like CVS, it has an optional client-server architecture (where the
server can be an Apache server running mod_svn, or an ssh program as in
CVS's :ext: method). In addition to supporting the features found in
CVS, Subversion also provides support for moving and copying files and
directories.
The serf library is a high performance C-based HTTP client library
built upon the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) library.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 dev-vcs/subversion < 1.9.4 >= 1.9.4
*> 1.8.16
2 net-libs/serf < 1.3.7 >= 1.3.7
-------------------------------------------------------------------
2 affected packages
Description
===========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Subversion and Serf.
Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details
Impact
======
A remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of the process, conduct a man-in-the-middle attack, obtain
sensitive information, or cause a Denial of Service Condition.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All Subversion users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-vcs/subversion-1.9.4"
All Serf users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-libs/serf-1.3.7"
