NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream mod_dav_svn package and not the mod_dav_svn package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The canonicalize_username function in svnserve/cyrus_auth.c in Apache Subversion before 1.8.16 and 1.9.x before 1.9.4, when Cyrus SASL authentication is used, allows remote attackers to authenticate and bypass intended access restrictions via a realm string that is a prefix of an expected repository realm string.
