+ version control system. It contains both a client utility and a server.

+ <p>
+ 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.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ 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).
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All CVS users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-util/cvs-1.11.20"</code>
