CVE-2008-5919

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions WebSVN versions 2.0 and earlier

Description A directory traversal issue exists in the rss.php file of WebSVN, allowing remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary files when magic quotes gpc is disabled. This is achieved through directory traversal sequences in the rev parameter.

Recommendations For WebSVN versions 2.0 and earlier, consider disabling the rss.php file or restricting access to it until a fix is available. As a temporary workaround, enable magic quotes gpc to prevent directory traversal attacks.
