Subversion security problem patched

[reptor]

Just a heads-up - a security problem in subversion has been patched. In both server and client. So you might as well update it now whilst you are sitting at your computer.

Known vulnerable:
=================

Subversion clients and servers <= 1.5.6.
Subversion clients and servers 1.6.0 through 1.6.3 (inclusive).

Wow, thanks for pointing this out.

Uh-oh - sounds pretty important

I have to figure out how to upgrade the Ogitor SVN on Dreamhost..
It's a fairly old one (1.4.2), so an upgrade is probably a good thing regardless.

Secunia PSI pointed it out to me.

It's a program which checks what programs you have on your hard disk drives and then checks their database to see if any of your programs have updates available.

If you can accept the program communicating with their server about what programs you have, then it's a nice tool.
