Synopsis
========

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Subversion and Serf, the
worst of which could lead to execution of arbitrary code.

Background
==========

Subversion is a version control system intended to eventually replace
CVS. Like CVS, it has an optional client-server architecture (where the
server can be an Apache server running mod_svn, or an ssh program as in
CVS's :ext: method). In addition to supporting the features found in
CVS, Subversion also provides support for moving and copying files and
directories.

The serf library is a high performance C-based HTTP client library
built upon the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) library.

Description
===========

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Subversion and Serf.
Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details

Impact
======

A remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of the process, conduct a man-in-the-middle attack, obtain
sensitive information, or cause a Denial of Service Condition.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All Subversion users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-vcs/subversion-1.9.4"

All Serf users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-libs/serf-1.3.7"
