A flaw has been discovered in subversion, an advanced version control system. The patch for CVE-2013-1968 was incomplete and unintentionally left mod_dav_svn vulnerable to control characters in filenames. If a path or a revision-property which contains control characters is committed to a repository then SVN operations served by mod_dav_svn can be disrupted.



For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version 1.10.4-1+deb10u4.

For Debian 8 jessie, these problems have been fixed in version 1.8.10-6+deb8u10.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 1.9.5-1+deb9u7.

We recommend that you upgrade your subversion packages.
