Description Hanno Böck gentoo-dev 2008-08-15 14:26:07 UTC 
A NULL pointer deference in the Digest authentication support in neon 
versions 0.28.0 through 0.28.2 inclusive allows a malicious server to 
crash a client application, resulting in possible denial of service.

Reference: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=476571

0.26 seems unaffected, CVE is requested on oss-security.

Client crashes are not subject to Vulnerability Treatment Policy, but I'll bite that subversion might be used in automated setups.
Comment 2 Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-08-20 20:25:30 UTC 
net-misc/neon-0.28.3 was released on 2008-08-20. It fixes CVE-2008-3746.
Comment 3 Benedikt Böhm (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-08-29 12:07:47 UTC 
0.28.3 in cvs, 0.26.4 does not seem to be affected
