Synopsis
========

Several serious new vulnerabilities have been found in CVS, which may
allow an attacker to remotely compromise a CVS server.

Background
==========

CVS (Concurrent Versions System) is an open-source network-transparent
version control system. It contains both a client utility and a server.

Affected packages
=================

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 dev-util/cvs <= 1.11.16-r1 >= 1.11.17

Description
===========

A team audit of the CVS source code performed by Stefan Esser and
Sebastian Krahmer resulted in the discovery of several remotely
exploitable vulnerabilities including:

* no-null-termination of "Entry" lines

* error_prog_name "double-free()"

* Argument integer overflow

* serve_notify() out of bounds writes

Impact
======

An attacker could use these vulnerabilities to cause a Denial of
Service or execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user
running cvs.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time. All users are advised to
upgrade to the latest available version of CVS.

Resolution
==========

All CVS users should upgrade to the latest stable version:

# emerge sync

# emerge -pv ">=dev-util/cvs-1.11.17"
# emerge ">=dev-util/cvs-1.11.17"
