More information:

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in Subversion, a version control system. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

• CVE-2018-11782

  Ace Olszowka reported that the Subversion's svnserve server process may exit when a well-formed read-only request produces a particular answer, leading to a denial of service.

• CVE-2019-0203

  Tomas Bortoli reported that the Subversion's svnserve server process may exit when a client sends certain sequences of protocol commands. If the server is configured with anonymous access enabled this could lead to a remote unauthenticated denial of service.

For Debian 8 Jessie, these problems have been fixed in version 1.8.10-6+deb8u7.

We recommend that you upgrade your subversion packages.
