Security Advisory - RHSA-2015:1633-1
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary:
Moderate: subversion security update
Updated subversion packages that fix three security issues are now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Moderate security
impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give
detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the
CVE links in the References section.
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.
The mod_dav_svn module is used with the Apache HTTP Server to allow access
to Subversion repositories via HTTP.
An assertion failure flaw was found in the way the SVN server processed
certain requests with dynamically evaluated revision numbers. A remote
attacker could use this flaw to cause the SVN server (both svnserve and
httpd with the mod_dav_svn module) to crash. (CVE-2015-0248)
It was found that the mod_dav_svn module did not properly validate the
svn:author property of certain requests. An attacker able to create new
revisions could use this flaw to spoof the svn:author property.
(CVE-2015-0251)
It was found that when an SVN server (both svnserve and httpd with the
mod_dav_svn module) searched the history of a file or a directory, it would
disclose its location in the repository if that file or directory was not
readable (for example, if it had been moved). (CVE-2015-3187)
Red Hat would like to thank the Apache Software Foundation for reporting
these issues. Upstream acknowledges Evgeny Kotkov of VisualSVN as the
original reporter of CVE-2015-0248 and CVE-2015-0251, and C. Michael Pilato
of CollabNet as the original reporter of CVE-2015-3187.
All subversion users should upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain backported patches to correct these issues. After installing the
updated packages, for the update to take effect, you must restart the httpd
daemon, if you are using mod_dav_svn, and the svnserve daemon, if you are
serving Subversion repositories via the svn:// protocol.

Affected Systems List
---------------------
This Errata Advisory may apply to the systems listed below. If you know that
this errata does not apply to a system listed, it might be possible that the
package profile for that server is out of date. In that case you should run
'up2date -p' (RHEL 4 and below) or 'rhn-profile-sync' (RHEL 5 and above) as root on the system in question to refresh your software profile.
There is 1 affected system registered in 'Overview' (only systems for
which you have explicitly enabled Errata Alerts are shown).

You may address the issues outlined in this advisory in two ways:
- select your server name by clicking on its name from the list
available at the following location, and then schedule an
errata update for it:
https://ucbrhn.Berkeley.EDU/rhn/systems/Overview.do
- run the Update Agent on each affected server.
After the patch, it seems like the --username argument is causing the problems.
