<title>CVS Server and Client Vulnerabilities</title>

<synopsis>
|
|
|
|
|
There are two vulnerabilities in CVS; one in the server and one in the
|
|
|
|
|
client. These vulnerabilities allow the reading and writing of arbitrary
|
|
|
|
|
files on both client and server.

CVS, which stands for Concurrent Versions System, is a client/server
|
|
|
|
|
application which tracks changes to sets of files. It allows multiple
|
|
|
|
|
users to work concurrently on files, and then merge their changes back
|
|
|
|
|
into the main tree (which can be on a remote system). It also allows
|
|
|
|
|
branching, or maintaining separate versions for files.

There are two vulnerabilities in CVS; one in the server and one in the
|
|
|
|
|
client. The server vulnerability allows a malicious client to request
|
|
|
|
|
the contents of any RCS file to which the server has permission, even
|
|
|
|
|
those not located under $CVSROOT. The client vulnerability allows a
|
|
|
|
|
malicious server to overwrite files on the client machine anywhere the
|
|
|
|
|
client has permissions.

Arbitrary files may be read or written on CVS clients and servers by
|
|
|
|
|
anybody with access to the CVS tree.
