Name        : subversion

Version     : 1.6.4
Release     : 2.fc11

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 Subversion, fixing many bugs
and a security issue:    Matt Lewis reported multiple heap overflow flaws in
Subversion (servers and clients) when parsing binary deltas. Malicious users
with commit access to a vulnerable server could uses these flaws to cause a heap
overflow on the server running Subversion. A malicious Subversion server could
use these flaws to cause a heap overflow on vulnerable clients when they attempt
to checkout or update, resulting in a crash or, possibly, arbitrary code
execution on the vulnerable client. (CVE-2009-2411)    This update also adds
support for storing passwords in the GNOME Keyring or KDE Wallet, via the new
subversion-gnome and subversion-kde subpackages.    For more details of the bug
fixes included in this update, see:
