                    Fedora Legacy Update Advisory

    Synopsis: Updated subversion packages fix security issues
    Advisory ID: FLSA:1748
    Issue date: 2005-03-07
    Product: Red Hat Linux
    Keywords: Bugfix
    Cross references: https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1748
    CVE Names: CAN-2004-0397 CAN-2004-0413
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    1. Topic:

    Updated subversion packages that fix several security issues are now
    available.

    Subversion is a concurrent version control system.

    2. Relevant releases/architectures:

    Red Hat Linux 9 - i386

    3. Problem description:

    Subversion versions up to 1.0.2 are vulnerable to a date parsing
    vulnerability which can be abused to allow remote code execution on
    Subversion servers and therefore could lead to a repository compromise.
    The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
    assigned the name CAN-2004-0397 to this issue.

    Subversion versions up to and including 1.0.4 have a potential Denial of
    Service and Heap Overflow issue related to the parsing of strings in the
    'svn://' family of access protocols. The Common Vulnerabilities and
    Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0413 to
    this issue.

    Users of subversion are advised to upgrade to these errata packages,
    which contain backported patches correcting these issues.

    4. Solution:

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

    To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:

    rpm -Fvh [filenames]

    where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
    RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which
    are not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note
    that you can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only*
    contains the desired RPMs.

    Please note that this update is also available via yum and apt. Many
    people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use yum issue:

    yum update

    or to use apt:

    apt-get update; apt-get upgrade

    This will start an interactive process that will result in the
    appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system. This assumes that you
    have yum or apt-get configured for obtaining Fedora Legacy content.
    Please visit http://www.fedoralegacy.org/docs for directions on how to
    configure yum and apt-get.

    redhat/9/updates/SRPMS/subversion-0.27.0-4.legacy.src.rpm

    These packages are GPG signed by Fedora Legacy for security. Our key is
    available from http://www.fedoralegacy.org/about/security.php

    You can verify each package with the following command:

         rpm --checksig -v <filename>

    If you only wish to verify that each package has not been corrupted or
    tampered with, examine only the sha1sum with the following command:

         sha1sum <filename>
