Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Apache Subversion versions 1.9.0 through 1.9.2

Description The issue is related to an integer overflow in the read string function, which can be exploited by remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. This is achieved through an svn:// protocol string that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow and an out-of-bounds read.

Recommendations For Apache Subversion versions 1.9.0 through 1.9.2, update to version 1.9.3 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the read string function in libsvn ra svn/marshal.c until a patch is applied.
