CVE-2014-3522

Updated subversion packages fix security vulnerabilities:

Ben Reser discovered that Subversion did not correctly validate SSL certificates containing wildcards. A remote attacker could exploit this to perform a man in the middle attack to view sensitive information or alter encrypted communications (CVE-2014-3522).

Bert Huijben discovered that Subversion did not properly handle cached credentials. A malicious server could possibly use this issue to obtain credentials cached for a different server (CVE-2014-3528).

The subversion package has been updated to 1.8.10 to fix these issues and other bugs.

These are all security issues fixed in the libsvn_auth_gnome_keyring-1-0-1.9.5-1.1 package on the GA media of openSUSE Tumbleweed.

The Serf RA layer in Apache Subversion 1.4.0 through 1.7.x before 1.7.18 and 1.8.x before 1.8.10 does not properly handle wildcards in the Common Name (CN) or subjectAltName field of the X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers via a crafted certificate.

Lieven Govaerts discovered that the Subversion mod_dav_svn module incorrectly handled certain request methods when SVNListParentPath was enabled. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause the server to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. (CVE-2014-0032)
