Detail

Problem Description:

Updated subversion packages that fix multiple security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5.

This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop version 4 - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64 RHEL Desktop Workstation (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) - i386, ia64, ppc, s390x, x86_64

3. Description:

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.

Matt Lewis, of Google, reported multiple heap overflow flaws in Subversion (server and client) when parsing binary deltas. A malicious user with commit access to a server could use these flaws to cause a heap overflow on that server. A malicious server could use these flaws to cause a heap overflow on a client when it attempts to checkout or update. These heap overflows can result in a crash or, possibly, arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2009-2411)

All Subversion users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct these issues. After installing the updated packages, the Subversion server must be restarted for the update to take effect: restart httpd if you are using mod_dav_svn, or restart svnserve if it is used.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-11259

5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

Title: DSA-1855-1 subversion -- heap overflow
Description: Matt Lewis discovered that Subversion performs insufficient input validation of svndiff streams. Malicious servers could cause heap overflows in clients, and malicious clients with commit access could cause heap overflows in servers, possibly leading to arbitrary code execution in both cases. For the old stable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 1.4.2dfsg1-3. For the stable distribution , this problem has been fixed in version 1.5.1dfsg1-4. For the unstable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 1.6.4dfsg-1. We recommend that you upgrade your Subversion packages.

Description: Matt Lewis discovered that Subversion did not properly sanitize its input when processing svndiff streams, leading to various integer and heap overflows. If a user or automated system processed crafted input, a remote attacker could cause a denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code as the user processing the input.
