+ <synopsis>
+ There are two vulnerabilities in CVS; one in the server and one in the

+ <background>
+ <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.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ 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.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ Arbitrary files may be read or written on CVS clients and servers by
+ anybody with access to the CVS tree.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time. All users are encouraged to
+ upgrade to the latest stable version of CVS.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All CVS users should upgrade to the latest stable version.
