NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream viewvc package and not the viewvc package as distributed by Ubuntu.

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.
