| 25 |
Stable CVS 1.11.10 has been released. Stable releases contain only |
| 26 |
bug fixes from previous versions of CVS. This release fixes a |
| 27 |
security issue with no known exploits that could cause previous |
| 28 |
versions of CVS to attempt to create files and directories in the |
| 29 |
filesystem root. This release also fixes several issues relevant to |
| 30 |
case insensitive filesystems and some other bugs. We recommend this |
| 31 |
upgrade for all CVS clients and servers!" |

SOLUTION: |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
All Gentoo Linux machines with cvs installed should be updated to use |
| 37 |
cvs-1.11.10 or higher. |
