The initial version did not fix several DoS vulnerabilities and one |
20 |
instance of arbitrary code execution. The arbitrary code execution was only |
21 |
possible under very specific circumstances. |
22 |
|

The updated sections appear below. |

Description |
34 |
=========== |
35 |
|
36 |
Alen Zukich has discovered several serious security issues in CVS, |
37 |
including at least one buffer overflow (CAN-2005-0753), memory leaks |
38 |
and a NULL pointer dereferencing error. Furthermore when launching |
39 |
trigger scripts CVS includes a user controlled directory. |
40 |
|
41 |
Resolution |
42 |
========== |
43 |
|
44 |
All CVS users should upgrade to the latest version: |
45 |
|
46 |
# emerge --sync |
47 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-util/cvs-1.11.20" |
