Update to Apache Subversion 1.12.2 and 1.10.6 LTS

We are glad to announce the availability of patch releases for VisualSVN products. Both VisualSVN and VisualSVN Server are now based on the most up-to-date Apache Subversion 1.12.2 and 1.10.6 LTS builds. Besides this, there is also an upgrade to Expat XML parser 2.2.7 and some other important fixes.

Apache Subversion 1.12.2 patch release addresses the CVE-2018-11782 and CVE-2019-0203 DoS vulnerabilities, which do not affect VisualSVN products. However, up-to-date VisualSVN Server installations are affected by the CVE-2018-20843 (remotely triggerable DoS, requires read access to the target server) that was addressed in the Expat XML parser 2.2.7 patch release. We consider the risks to be moderate, because VisualSVN Server does not allow anonymous read access. Therefore, upgrading to the new VisualSVN Server builds is highly recommended for all users.

Update for VisualSVN Server

Users of VisualSVN Server should update to VisualSVN Server 4.0.3. For the list of changes, see the VisualSVN Server 4.0.3 changelog.

It is also recommended to upgrade to version 4.0.3 if you are using an earlier version family of VisualSVN Server. Please, read VisualSVN Server 4.0 Release Notes to find out what's new in the latest release. For detailed upgrade instructions please consider the KB149: Upgrading to VisualSVN Server 4.0 knowledge base article.

Choose an appropriate patch build if you do not want to perform a significant upgrade right now:

Other version families of VisualSVN Server are not supported and maintenance updates are not available for them. It is strongly recommended to upgrade to VisualSVN Server 4.0.x if you are using any version family older than 3.8.x. Read the KB149: Upgrading to VisualSVN Server 4.0 article before upgrading.
