Fixed in 1.0.8 update, Thu 23 Sep 2004: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2004-September/msg00030.html |
mod_authz_svn, the Apache httpd module which does path-based authorization on Subversion repositories, is not correctly protecting all metadata on unreadable paths. This metadata leakage affects the mod_authz_svn module in all released versions of Subversion (through 1.0.7), as well as the 1.1-rc1, -rc2 and -rc3 release candidates. The leakage is fixed in the 1.0.8 and 1.1-rc4 release, as well as the upcoming 1.1 final release. Details: ======= If a Subversion commit affects paths that an administrator has marked "unreadable" using mod_authz_svn, then - "svn log -v" will list the existence of the unreadable paths; - "svn log -v" will show the commit's log message, which might be considered sensitive metadata in some situations; - "svn propget" is also able to fetch the log message of any commit; - "svn blame" and other commands that follow renames are able to acknowledge the existence of earlier versions of files that exist at unreadable locations.
