+ <description>
+ <p>
+ A team audit of the CVS source code performed by Stefan Esser and Sebastian
+ Krahmer resulted in the discovery of several remotely exploitable
+ vulnerabilities including:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>no-null-termination of "Entry" lines</li>
+ <li>error_prog_name "double-free()"</li>
+ <li>Argument integer overflow</li>
+ <li>serve_notify() out of bounds writes</li>
+ </ul>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ An attacker could use these vulnerabilities to cause a Denial of Service or
+ execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running cvs.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time. All users are advised to upgrade
+ to the latest available version of CVS.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All CVS users should upgrade to the latest stable version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge sync
+
+ # emerge -pv "&gt;=dev-util/cvs-1.11.17"
+ # emerge "&gt;=dev-util/cvs-1.11.17"</code>
