CWE-297  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable subversion to version 1.8.10-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream subversion package and not the subversion package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

The Serf RA layer in Apache Subversion 1.4.0 through 1.7.x before 1.7.18 and 1.8.x before 1.8.10 does not properly handle wildcards in the Common Name (CN) or subjectAltName field of the X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers via a crafted certificate.
