Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2010-199 - authz.c in the mod_dav_svn module for the Apache HTTP Server, as distributed in Apache Subversion 1.5.x before 1.5.8 and 1.6.x before 1.6.13, when SVNPathAuthz short_circuit is enabled, does not properly handle a named repository as a rule scope, which allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended access restrictions via svn commands.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 2118-1 - Kamesh Jayachandran and C. Michael Pilat discovered that the mod_dav_svn module of subversion, a version control system, is not properly enforcing access rules which are scope-limited to named repositories. If the SVNPathAuthz option is set to "short_circuit" set this may enable an unprivileged attacker to bypass intended access restrictions and disclose or modify repository content.
