Synopsis
Multiple vulnerabilities in WebSVN allow for file overwrite and information
disclosure.
2.
Impact Information
Background
WebSVN is a web-based browsing tool for Subversion repositories written
in PHP.
Description
-
James Bercegay of GulfTech Security reported a Cross-site scripting
(XSS) vulnerability in the getParameterisedSelfUrl() function in
index.php (CVE-2008-5918) and a directory traversal vulnerability in
rss.php when magic_quotes_gpc is disabled (CVE-2008-5919).
-
Bas van Schaik reported that listing.php does not properly enforce
access restrictions when using an SVN authz file to authenticate users
(CVE-2009-0240).
Impact
A remote attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities to overwrite
arbitrary files, to read changelogs or diffs for restricted projects
and to hijack a user's session.

Resolution Information
Workaround

Resolution

Code Listing 3.1: Resolution |

|
