CVE-2020-17525
Published: 10 February 2021
Subversion's mod_authz_svn module will crash if the server is using in-repository authz rules with the AuthzSVNReposRelativeAccessFile option and a client sends a request for a non-existing repository URL. This can lead to disruption for users of the service. This issue was fixed in mod_dav_svn+mod_authz_svn servers 1.14.1 and mod_dav_svn+mod_authz_svn servers 1.10.7
From the Ubuntu Security Team
Thomas Åkesson discovered that Subversion incorrectly handled certain inputs. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service.
