The Serf RA layer in Apache Subversion 1.4.0 through 1.7.x before 1.7.18 and 1.8.x before 1.8.10 does not properly handle wildcards in the Common Name (CN) or subjectAltName field of the X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers via a crafted certificate.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Older Apache Subversion clients can be tricked into trusting the wrong HTTPS certificate when using the Serf network layer. An attacker already positioned to intercept traffic could impersonate a repository server. This matters most for development, CI, and release systems that still use the affected Subversion versions. Exposure is likely limited to legacy Subversion installations using HTTPS repository access through the Serf RA layer. Check developer workstations, build agents, CI runners, release automation, and vendor-supplied Subversion packages from the 2014-2015 timeframe. Treat as a legacy development-tool risk. It is not marked actively exploited in the provided sources, but affected build or release systems could undermine source integrity if traffic interception is possible. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Apache Subversion to 1.7.18, 1.8.10, or later.; Apply relevant operating system vendor updates for packaged Subversion builds.; Prioritize CI, release, and developer systems that access repositories over HTTPS..
