Summary:

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

Vulnerability:

  Sample URL:
    https://example.com:4434/csvn/log/tail?fileName=..%2F..%2F..%2F..%2F..%2F..%2Fetc%2Fpasswd&startIndex=0

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.
