Description Hanno Böck gentoo-dev

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.
