A stack-based buffer overflow exists in Subversion 1.0.2 and earlier, triggered during the conversion of apr_time_t data. Remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted DAV2 REPORT query or get-dated-rev svn-protocol command, leading to the execution of arbitrary code.

This repository contains a single Metasploit exploit module targeting the Subversion svnserve daemon (svn:// protocol) vulnerability CVE-2004-0397. The exploit leverages a date parsing overflow in svnserve to execute arbitrary code on Linux and FreeBSD systems. The module supports brute-forcing return addresses for both platforms and allows for customizable payloads up to 500 bytes, avoiding specific bad characters. The default target port is 3690, and the exploit is configured via the 'URL' option (e.g., svn://host/svn/repos). The code is operational and can be used to gain remote code execution on vulnerable svnserve instances. The repository is structured as a typical Metasploit module, with all logic contained in a single Ruby file under the 'modules/exploits/multi/svn/' directory.
