Description
The mod_dav_svn server in Subversion 1.8.0 through 1.8.11 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a large number of REPORT requests, which trigger the traversal of FSFS repository nodes.
Statement
Not vulnerable. This issue did not affect the versions of subversion as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, 6 and 7 as they did not include support for additional level of caching for the DAG nodes, which cause excessive memory use due to the cached nodes not being deallocated in a timely manner.
