Category:Slackware Local Security Checks
Title:Slackware: Security Advisory (SSA:2004-108-02)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'cvs' package(s) announced via the SSA:2004-108-02 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'cvs' package(s) announced via the SSA:2004-108-02 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
CVS is a client/server version control system. As a server, it
is used to host source code repositories. As a client, it is
used to access such repositories. This advisory affects both uses
of CVS.

A security problem which could allow a server to create arbitrary
files on a client machine, and another security problem which may
allow a client to view files outside of the CVS repository have
been fixed with the release of cvs-1.11.15.

Any sites running CVS should upgrade to the new CVS package.


Here are the details from the Slackware 9.1 ChangeLog:
