+    <p>
+    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.

+    Quote from ccvs.cvshome.org/servlets/NewsItemView?newsID=84:
+    "Stable CVS 1.11.10 has been released. Stable releases contain only bug
+    fixes from previous versions of CVS. This release fixes a security issue
+    with no known exploits that could cause previous versions of CVS to attempt
+    to create files and directories in the filesystem root. This release also
+    fixes several issues relevant to case insensitive filesystems and some other
+    bugs. We recommend this upgrade for all CVS clients and servers!"

+  <impact type="minimal">

+    Attempts to create files and directories outside the repository may be

+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All Gentoo Linux machines with cvs installed should be updated to use
+    dev-util/cvs-1.11.10 or higher:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge sync
+    # emerge -pv '&gt;=dev-util/cvs-1.11.10'
+    # emerge '&gt;=dev-util/cvs-1.11.10'
+    # emerge clean</code>
