Several vulnerabilities were found in ViewVC, a web interface for CVS and Subversion repositories.
CVE-2009-5024 Remote attackers can bypass the cvsdb row_limit configuration setting, and consequently conduct resource-consumption attacks via the limit parameter.
CVE-2012-3356 The remote Subversion views functionality does not properly perform authorization, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions.
CVE-2012-3357 The Subversion revision view does not properly handle log messages when a readable path is copied from an unreadable path, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information.
CVE-2012-4533 ‘function name’ lines returned by diff are not properly escaped, allowing attackers with commit access to perform cross site scripting.
