Debian Security Advisory DSA 233-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze
January 21st, 2003 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : cvs
Vulnerability : doubly freed memory
Problem-Type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id : CAN-2003-0015
Stefan Esser discovered a problem in cvs, a concurrent versions
system, which is used for many Free Software projects. The current
version contais a flaw that can be used by a remote attacker to
execute arbitrary code on the CVS server under the user id the CVS
server runs as. Anonymous read-only access is sufficient to exploit
this problem.
For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been
fixed in version 1.11.1p1debian-8.1.
For the old stable distribution (potato) this problem has been fixed
in version 1.10.7-9.2.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon.
We recommend that you upgrade your cvs package immediately.
