The req_check_access function in the mod_authz_svn module in the httpd server in Apache Subversion before 1.8.16 and 1.9.x before 1.9.4 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and crash) via a crafted header in a (1) MOVE or (2) COPY request, involving an authorization check.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2016-2168 is an availability flaw in Apache Subversion when served through Apache httpd using mod_authz_svn. An authenticated user can trigger a crash by sending a specially crafted MOVE or COPY request header. The issue is fixed in Subversion 1.8.16 and 1.9.4. Exposure is limited to Subversion repositories served over Apache httpd with mod_authz_svn enabled, on unfixed 1.8.x or 1.9.x versions, where remote authenticated users can reach the service. Treat as a service reliability issue for legacy Subversion infrastructure. Prioritize patching if Subversion remains business-critical or is reachable by many authenticated users. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Apache Subversion to 1.8.16, 1.9.4, or a later supported release.; Review Apache Subversion advisory guidance for package-specific instructions.; Apply distribution security updates from Debian, Fedora, Slackware, openSUSE, or Gentoo where applicable..
