SYNTHESIS OF THE VULNERABILITY

A local attacker can trigger a MD5 collision in the cache of Apache Subversion, in order to obtain sensitive information.

Impacted products: Subversion, openSUSE, Ubuntu

Severity: 1/4

Creation date: 26/08/2014

DESCRIPTION OF THE VULNERABILITY

The Apache Subversion caches user’s credentials. These credentials are stored in a tree indexed by the result of a MD5 hash.

However, an attacker may trigger a MD5 collision, in order to obtain data belonging to another user.

A local attacker can therefore trigger a MD5 collision in the cache of Apache Subversion, in order to obtain sensitive information.
