<background>
<p>
Subversion is an advanced version control system, similar to CVS, which
supports additional functionality such as the ability to move, copy and
delete files and directories. A Subversion server may be run as an
Apache module, a standalone server (svnserve), or on-demand over ssh (a
la CVS' ":ext:" protocol). The mod_authz_svn Apache module works with
Subversion in Apache to limit access to parts of Subversion
repositories based on policy set by the administrator.

<description>
<p>
Users with write access to part of a Subversion repository may bypass
read restrictions on any part of that repository. This can be done
using an "svn copy" command to copy the portion of a repository the
user wishes to read into an area where they have write access.
</p>
<p>
Since copies are versioned, any such copy attempts will be readily
apparent.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="low">
<p>
This is a low-risk vulnerability. It affects only users of Subversion
who are running servers inside Apache and using mod_authz_svn.
Additionally, this vulnerability may be exploited only by users with
write access to some portion of a repository.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
Keep sensitive content separated into different Subversion
repositories, or disable the Apache Subversion server and use svnserve
instead.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All Subversion users should upgrade to the latest available version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge sync
# emerge -pv &quot;&gt;=dev-util/subversion-1.0.6&quot;
# emerve &quot;&gt;=dev-util/subversion-1.0.6&quot;</code>
</resolution>
