[PATCH] Fix ":" path name issues and cross-site security in mod_dav_svn

From: Michael Sinz <Michael.Sinz_at_sinz.org>
Date: 2005-11-12 04:29:19 CET

This is a reminder about issue #2423 which describes a problem with mod_dav_svn
and file/path names with ":" in them.

This should (IMHO) be a candidate for 1.3.x backport (and 1.2.x?) due to both
the security/privacy issue and the fact that the fix is rather simple.

See <http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2005-11/0224.shtml> and the patch at
<http://subversion.tigris.org/nonav/issues/showattachment.cgi/518/svn-colon.patch>

[[[
Fix mod_dav_svn such that files and directories with ":" in their names are
correctly escaped when returned in the HTML and XML output. Without this fix
the links to those files and directories are invalid.

* subversion/mod_dav_svn/repos.c
   (dav_svn_deliver): When escaping the href use ap_os_escape_path( , , 0) which
     will prepend "./" to the href if there is a ":" before the first "/" rather
     than using ap_escape_uri() which does not do the prepending.
