|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |

|
24 |

25 |
in PHP. |
26 |
|

Description |
36 |
=========== |
37 |
|
38 |
* James Bercegay of GulfTech Security reported a Cross-site scripting |
39 |
(XSS) vulnerability in the getParameterisedSelfUrl() function in |
40 |
index.php (CVE-2008-5918) and a directory traversal vulnerability in |
41 |
rss.php when magic_quotes_gpc is disabled (CVE-2008-5919). |
42 |
|
43 |
* Bas van Schaik reported that listing.php does not properly enforce |
44 |
access restrictions when using an SVN authz file to authenticate |
45 |
users (CVE-2009-0240). |
46 |
|
47 |
Impact |
48 |
====== |
49 |
|
50 |
A remote attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities to overwrite |
51 |
arbitrary files, to read changelogs or diffs for restricted projects |
52 |
and to hijack a user's session. |
53 |
|
54 |
Workaround |
55 |
========== |
56 |
|
57 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
58 |
|
59 |
Resolution |
60 |
========== |
61 |
|
62 |
All WebSVN users should upgrade to the latest version: |
63 |
|
64 |
# emerge --sync |
65 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apps/websvn-2.1.0" |
