Debian Security Advisory DSA-1725-1 security@debian.org

- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : websvn
Vulnerability : programming error
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CVE-2009-0240
Debian Bug : 512191
Bas van Schaik discovered that WebSVN, a tool to view Subversion
repositories over the web, did not properly restrict access to private
repositories, allowing a remote attacker to read significant parts of
their content.
The old stable distribution (etch) is not affected by this problem.
For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.0-4+lenny1.
For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has also been fixed in
version 2.0-4+lenny1.
We recommend that you upgrade your websvn package.
