Summary

Several security issues have been found in the server components of the version control system subversion. CVE-2015-3184 Subversion's mod_authz_svn does not properly restrict anonymous access in some mixed anonymous/authenticated environments when using Apache httpd 2.4. The result is that anonymous access may be possible to files for which only authenticated access should be possible. This issue does not affect the oldstable distribution (wheezy) because it only contains Apache httpd 2.2. CVE-2015-3187 Subversion servers, both httpd and svnserve, will reveal some paths that should be hidden by path-based authz. When a node is copied from an unreadable location to a readable location the unreadable path may be revealed. This vulnerability only reveals the path, it does not reveal the contents of the path.
