DESCRIPTION:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in Apache Subversion, which
can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of
Service).

1) An error within the "walk()" function in mod_dav_svn/repos.c of
the mod_dav_svn module can be exploited to cause a crash.

2) A memory leak when processing the "blame -g" command can be
exploited to cause a DoS due to high memory consumption on the
server.

The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 1.6.15.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.6.15.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
