Subversion date parsing allows command execution
| subversion-date-parsing-command-execution (16191) |  High Risk |
Description:
Subcould allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by a vulnerability when parsing the date string. A remote attacker could send a specially-crafted DAV2 REPORT query or get-dated-rev svn-protocol command to cause a stack-based buffer overflow. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system with privileges of the victim.
