OpenSSH released a fix for a memory corruption with AES-GCM ciphers in OpenSSH
6.2 and 6.3.

Their advisory is here:
http://www.openssh.com/txt/gcmrekey.adv

If you're using Subversion in a svn+ssh:// configuration that restrictions on
the command being run using the command field in the authorized_keys file it
may be possible to bypass this restriction.

This Subversion configuration is described in the SVN Book here:
