Alen Zukich has discovered several serious security issues in CVS,
|
|
including at least one buffer overflow (CAN-2005-0753), memory leaks
|
|
and a NULL pointer dereferencing error. Furthermore when launching
|
|
trigger scripts CVS includes a user controlled directory.

|
|
An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to cause a Denial of
|
|
Service or execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the CVS
|
|
pserver or the authenticated user (depending on the connection method
|
|
used).

<workaround>

|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.

<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All CVS users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-util/cvs-1.11.20"</code>
|
