Name        : subversion
Product     : Fedora 19
Version     : 1.7.16
Release     : 1.fc19
URL         : http://subversion.apache.org/
Summary     : A Modern Concurrent Version Control System
Description :
Subversion is a concurrent version control system which enables one
or more users to collaborate in developing and maintaining a
hierarchy of files and directories while keeping a history of all
changes.  Subversion only stores the differences between versions,
instead of every complete file.  Subversion is intended to be a
compelling replacement for CVS.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

This update includes the latest stable release of Apache Subversion 1.7, fixing a security issue (CVE-2014-0032):

Subversion's mod_dav_svn Apache HTTPD server module will crash when it receives an OPTIONS request against the server root and Subversion is configured to handle the server root and SVNListParentPath is on.

This can lead to a DoS. There are no known instances of this problem being exploited in the wild, but the details of how to exploit it have been disclosed on the Subversion development mailing list.

For more information, see:

https://subversion.apache.org/security/CVE-2014-0032-advisory.txt

A number of client-side bug fixes are included in this update:

* copy: fix some scenarios that broke the working copy
* diff: fix regressions due to fixes in 1.7.14

One server-side bug fixes is also included:

* reduce memory usage during checkout and export
