Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Improper Authentication (CVE-ID: CVE-2012-3356)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to manipulate data.

The remote SVN views functionality (lib/vclib/svn/svn_ra.py) in ViewVC before 1.1.15 does not properly perform authorization, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via unspecified vectors.


2) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2012-3357)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

The SVN revision view (lib/vclib/svn/svn_repos.py) in ViewVC before 1.1.15 does not properly handle log messages when a readable path is copied from an unreadable path, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information, related to a "log msg leak."
