<description>
|
|
<p>It was discovered that when CVS is configured to use SSH for remote
|
|
repositories it allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code through
|
|
a repository URL with a specially crafted hostname.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</description>
|
|
<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>A remote attacker, by enticing a user to clone a specially crafted
|
|
repository, could possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of
|
|
the process.

</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
