Fedora 25: subversion Security Update
Summary
Subversion is a concurrent version control system which enables one
or more users to collaborate in developing and maintaining a
hierarchy of files and directories while keeping a history of all
changes. Subversion only stores the differences between versions,
instead of every complete file. Subversion is intended to be a
compelling replacement for CVS.
This update includes the latest stable release of _Apache Subversion_, version
**1.9.6**. ### User-visible changes: #### Client-side bugfixes: * cp/mv:
improve error message when target is an unversioned dir * merge: reduce memory
usage with large amounts of mergeinfo ([issue
4667](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-4667)) #### Server-side
bugfixes: * 'svnadmin freeze': document the purpose more clearly * dump: fix
segfault when a revision has no revprops * fsfs: improve error message upon
failure to open rep-cache * fsfs: never attempt to share directory
representations * fsfs: make consistency independent of hash algorithms
This change makes Subversion resilient to collision attacks, including
SHA-1 collision attacks such as http://shattered.io/. See also our
documentation at https://subversion.apache.org/faq#shattered-sha1 and
https://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.9#shattered-sha1. ####
Client-side and server-side bugfixes: * work around an APR bug related to file
truncation #### Bindings bugfixes: * javahl: follow redirects when opening a
connection
