What is CVE-2016-2168?

A vulnerability exists within the req_check_access function of the mod_authz_svn module in Apache Subversion prior to versions 1.8.16 and 1.9.4. This weakness allows remote authenticated users to exploit a crafted header in MOVE or COPY requests, potentially leading to a denial of service condition due to a NULL pointer dereference. This may cause the server process to crash, impacting availability of the service for legitimate users.
