Ubuntu Security Notice USN-3388-1

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-3388-1
Posted Aug 10, 2017
Authored by Ubuntu | Site security.ubuntu.com

Ubuntu Security Notice 3388-1 - Joern Schneeweisz discovered that Subversion did not properly handle host names in 'svn+ssh://' URLs. A remote attacker could use this to construct a subversion repository that when accessed could run arbitrary code with the privileges of the user. Daniel Shahaf and James McCoy discovered that Subversion did not properly verify realms when using Cyrus SASL authentication. A remote attacker could use this to possibly bypass intended access restrictions. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Various other issues were also addressed.
