Subversion Date Svnserve

Description

This is an exploit for the Subversion date parsing overflow. This exploit is for the svnserve daemon (svn:// protocol) and will not work for Subversion over webdav (http[s]://). This exploit should never crash the daemon, and should be safe to do multi-hits. **WARNING** This exploit seems to (not very often, I've only seen it during testing) corrupt the subversion database, so be careful!

Module Options

To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':

msf > use exploit/multi/svn/svnserve_date
msf exploit(svnserve_date) > show targets
    ...targets...
msf exploit(svnserve_date) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(svnserve_date) > show options
    ...show and set options...
msf exploit(svnserve_date) > exploit

Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
