APP: Subversion Date Parsing Function Buffer Overflow
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against SVN SubVersion server. Versions 1.0.0 and 0.37 are vulnerable. A successful attack allows the attacker to execute arbitrary code within the context of the server.
Extended Description
Subversion is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability that resides in one of its data-parsing functions. Specifically, Subversion calls an 'sscanf()' function when converting data strings to different formats. As a result, the software copies user-supplied data into an unspecified buffer without proper boundary checks. Subversion 1.0.2 and prior versions are prone to this issue.
Affected Products
- Gentoo Linux 1.4.0
- Subversion 1.0.0
