Synopsis
========

A vulnerability in Subversion could lead to a Denial of Service
condition.

Background
==========

Subversion is a version control system intended to eventually replace
CVS. Like CVS, it has an optional client-server architecture (where the
server can be an Apache server running mod_svn, or an ssh program as in
CVS’s :ext: method). In addition to supporting the features found in
CVS, Subversion also provides support for moving and copying files and
directories.

Affected packages
=================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  dev-vcs/subversion           < 1.10.4                  >= 1.10.4 

Description
===========

A vulnerability was discovered in Subversion's mod_dav_svn, that could
lead to a Denial of Service Condition.

Impact
======

An attacker could cause a possible enial of Service condition.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
