    CVE-2017-9800

    Summary: Updated subversion packages fix security vulnerability

    Details: A Subversion client sometimes connects to URLs provided by the repository. A maliciously constructed svn+ssh:// URL would cause Subversion clients to run an arbitrary shell command. Such a URL could be generated by a malicious server, by a malicious user committing to an honest server (to attack another user of that server's repositories), or by a proxy server (CVE-2017-9800).
