  Subversion's mod_dav_svn is vulnerable to memory corruption
  While looking up path-based authorization rules, mod_dav_svn servers
  may attempt to use memory which has already been freed.
  Subversion mod_dav_svn servers 1.10.0 through 1.14.1 (inclusive).
  Servers that do not use mod_dav_svn are not affected.
  Subversion httpd servers 1.14.2.
  Subversion httpd servers 1.10.8.
  Server modules for Apache HTTP server (httpd), such as mod_dav_svn,
  implement several hooks that httpd calls at various times.
  One of these, post_config, may be called more than once during module
  initialization. The number of calls and the purpose of each call
  depend on whether the module is loaded at httpd startup or during a
  later reload of httpd's configuration.
  When httpd loads a module at startup, it performs a configuration
  check at which time it calls the module's post_config hook for
  validation purposes. Later, httpd calls the hook again; this is the
  "real" initialization call.
  In contrast, when httpd loads a module at a later stage, due to
  reloading its own configuration, it calls the post_config hook only
  once.
  In vulnerable versions of Subversion, the post_config hook
  implementation does not take these semantics into account. As a
  result, it always treats the first call as the "real" call and
  performs initialization, including caching of pointers which are used
  later. When the call is in fact for validation only, those pointers
  subsequently become invalid when the memory allocation pools into
  which they point are cleared.
  Subsequent operations on the freed (and possibly reused) memory may
  lead to a segfault crash.
  The affected pointers are used by Subversion when serving requests
  which require a lookup of path-based authorization (authz) rules.
  However, even servers which do not make use of authz should be upgraded.
  The invalid pointers are always present in the running program and could
  be abused via other unknown attack vectors.

  Exploitation results in denial of service by crashing the HTTPD worker
  handling the request. The impact of this differs depending on how the
  Apache HTTPD server is configured, including the choice of MPM (Multi-
  Processing-Module). If the worker shares its memory address space with
  the main thread, as is the case with e.g. the Event MPM, the entire
  HTTPD server process will terminate. If the pre-fork MPM is used, the
  worker will terminate but the HTTPD server will stay up, and service
  availability will depend on how frequently the attacker is able to
  send malicious requests which target the vulnerability.
  We recommend all users to upgrade to a known fixed release of the
  Subversion server.
  Users who are unable to upgrade may apply the patch included below.
