Package        : subversion

Problem type   : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID         : CVE-2011-1752 CVE-2011-1783 CVE-2011-1921

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in Subversion, the version

identifies the following problems:

CVE-2011-1752

   The mod_dav_svn Apache HTTPD server module can be crashed though
   when asked to deliver baselined WebDAV resources.

CVE-2011-1783

   The mod_dav_svn Apache HTTPD server module can trigger a loop which
   consumes all available memory on the system.

CVE-2011-1921

   The mod_dav_svn Apache HTTPD server module may leak to remote users
   the file contents of files configured to be unreadable by those
   users.

Upstream has indicated that 1.6.17 corrects the issue, and Debian has released packages with 1.6.17. I am not finding any published POCs to test the issues.

Randomly picking this as our first "official" update candidate for mga1, to walk through the process.

Still waking up I guess. This bug raises the question of how we handle for updates. Make a first exception and bump the version, or backport patches?

Debian released old versions for some releases, presumably patched, so there should be patches we can use:


For the oldstable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.5.1dfsg1-7.

For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.6.12dfsg-6.
Comment 4 Ahmad Samir 2011-06-15 17:56:56 CEST
I think bump the version, mga1 is already at 1.6.16, so just one point release.

FWIW, subversion-1.6.17 has been in cauldron since 12th of June, on regressions AFAICS (i.e. I didn't see any, and no open reports in our bugzilla).
Comment 5 Nicolas Vigier 2011-06-28 01:11:02 CEST
Package with patchs from debian for cve-2011-1752, cve-2011-1783, cve-2011-1921 submitted to updates_testing.

Comment 6 Ahmad Samir 2011-07-03 07:43:27 CEST
From bug 1700, subversion-1.6.17 is already in 2010.1/2 main/updates, we'll have to update to that version to smooth upgrades.
Comment 7 Dave Hodgins 2011-07-07 02:20:46 CEST
Regarding Comment 6, does that mean there is a further change coming, or should
testing proceed?

Closing, because now things happen in bug #2239 (which was almost a duplicate but now is the one that gets the focus :))
