Descriptions

Integer overflow in the read_string function in libsvn_ra_svn/marshal.c in Apache Subversion 1.9.x before 1.9.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an svn:// protocol string, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow and an out-of-bounds read.

Desbordamiento de entero en la función read_string en libsvn_ra_svn/marshal.c en Apache Subversion 1.9.x en versiones anteriores a 1.9.3 permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario a través de una cadena del protocolo svn://, lo que desencadena un desbordamiento de buffer basado en memoria dinámica y una lectura fuera de rango.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Subversion and Serf, the worst of which could lead to execution of arbitrary code. Versions less than 1.9.4 are affected.
