Summary:

The CollabNet Subversion Edge Management Frontend allows authenticated admins to
read arbitrary local files via logfile "filename" parameter of the
"downloadHook" action

Vulnerability:

  Example URL:
    https://example.com:4434/csvn/repo/downloadHook/1?filename=../../../../../../etc/passwd

Fix proposal:

Remove feature or santizes the "filename" parameter so that no path traversals
and arbitrary file inclusions are possible.

Vendor fix:

[...] now allow only showing hooks/logs within the intended directories.
