CVE-2011-1783
First published: Mon May 30 2011(Updated: )
An infinite loop was found in the way mod_dav_svn module of the subversion concurrent version control system processed certain data sets, when SVNPathAuthz configuration directive with value of 'short_circuit' was used. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause the httpd child process to consume excessive amount of system memory. Acknowledgements: Red Hat would like to thank the Apache Subversion project for reporting this issue. Upstream acknowledges Ivan Zhakov of VisualSVN as the original reporter.
