Abstract
========
CVS had heap overflow vulnerabilities which can be trigged remotely by
malicious people on the net.
NetBSD does not run a CVS server in the default install. Relatively few
users have reason to configure one, and only those who do are affected.
Technical Details

Solutions and Workarounds
=========================
If you run a CVS server:
We highly recommend you to upgrade your cvs binary to 1.11.16, or 1.12.8 or
higher.
The following instructions describe how to upgrade your cvs
binaries by updating your source tree and rebuilding and
installing a new version of cvs.
* NetBSD-current:
Systems running NetBSD-current dated from before 2004-05-21
should be upgraded to NetBSD-current dated 2004-05-22 or later.
The following directories need to be updated from the
netbsd-current CVS branch (aka HEAD):
gnu/dist/cvs
gnu/usr.bin/cvs
To update from CVS, re-build, and re-install cvs:
# cd src
# cvs update -d -P gnu/dist/cvs gnu/usr.bin/cvs
# cd gnu/usr.bin/cvs
# make USETOOLS=no cleandir dependall
# make USETOOLS=no install
* NetBSD 1.6, 1.6.1, 1.6.2:
The binary distribution of NetBSD 1.6, 1.6.1 and 1.6.2 are vulnerable.
Systems running NetBSD 1.6 sources dated from before
2004-06-01 should be upgraded from NetBSD 1.6 sources dated
2004-06-02 or later.
Alternately, delete your cvs binaries, and update from pkgsrc.
NetBSD 1.6.3 will include the fix.
The following directories need to be updated from the
netbsd-1-6 CVS branch:
gnu/dist/cvs
gnu/usr.bin/cvs
To update from CVS, re-build, and re-install cvs:
# cd src
# cvs update -d -P -r netbsd-1-6 gnu/dist/cvs gnu/usr.bin/cvs
# cd gnu/usr.bin/cvs
# make USETOOLS=no cleandir dependall
# make USETOOLS=no install
* pkgsrc:
If your system has devel/cvs pkgsrc version 1.11.15 or lower, update
to 1.11.16
