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.
