Email on announce@subversion.tigris.org: Subversion 1.0.3 is ready. Grab it from: http://subversion.tigris.org/files/documents/15/13430/subversion-1.0.3.tar.gz http://subversion.tigris.org/files/documents/15/13432/subversion-1.0.3.tar.bz2 The MD5 checksums are: 1d5722a515be8f1aa6cfb779d99c6a11 subversion-1.0.3.tar.gz a8961f86a2bbd8deb59b2b62db303461 subversion-1.0.3.tar.bz2 Subversion versions up to and including 1.0.2 have a buffer overflow in the date parsing code. Both client and server are vulnerable. The server is vulnerable over both httpd/DAV and svnserve (that is, over http://, https://, svn://, svn+ssh:// and other tunneled svn+*:// methods). Additionally, clients with shared working copies, or permissions that allow files in the administrative area of the working copy to be written by other users, are potentially exploitable. Severity: ========= Severity ranges from "Denial of Service" to, potentially, "Arbitrary Code Execution", depending upon how skilled the attacker is and the ABI specifics of your platform. The server vulnerabilities can be triggered without write/commit access to the repository. So repositories with anonymous/public read access are vulnerable. Workarounds: ============ There are no workarounds except to disallow public access. Even then you'd still be vulnerable to attack by someone who still has access (perhaps you trust those people, though). Recommendations: ================ We recommend all users upgrade to 1.0.3. References: =========== CAN-2004-0397: subversion sscanf stack overflow via revision date in REPORT query Note: ===== There was a similar vulnerability in the Neon HTTP library up to and including version 0.24.5. Because Subversion ships with Neon, we have included (in Subversion 1.0.3) Neon 0.24.6, which is being released simultaneously. Subversion does not actually invoke the vulnerable code in Neon; we are updating our copy of Neon simply as a reassuring gesture, so people don't worry. See CAN-2004-0398 for details.
