ViewCVS is a browser interface for viewing CVS and Subversion
|
|
version control repositories through a web browser.

<p>
|
|
The tar export functions in ViewCVS bypass the 'hide_cvsroot' and
|
|
'forbidden' settings and therefore expose information that should be
|
|
kept secret (CAN-2004-0915). Furthermore, some error messages in
|
|
ViewCVS do not filter user-provided information, making it vulnerable
|
|
to a cross-site scripting attack (CAN-2004-1062).
|
|
</p>

|
|
<impact type="low">
|
|
<p>
|
|
By using the tar export functions, a remote attacker could access
|
|
information that is configured as restricted. Through the use of a
|
|
malicious request, an attacker could also inject and execute malicious
|
|
script code, potentially compromising another user's browser.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All ViewCVS users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apps/viewcvs-0.9.2_p20041207-r1"</code>
|
|
</resolution>
