Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.50674
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2003:009 (cvs)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to cvs
announced via advisory MDKSA-2003:009.

Two vulnerabilities were discoverd by Stefen Esser in the cvs program.
The first is an exploitable double free() bug within the server, which
can be used to execute arbitray code on the CVS server. To accomplish
this, the attacker must have an anonymous read-only login to the CVS
server. The second vulnerability is with the Checkin-prog and
Update-prog commands. If a client has write permission, he can use
these commands to execute programs outside of the scope of CVS, the
output of which will be sent as output to the client.

This update fixes the double free() vulnerability and removes the
Checkin-prog and Update-prog commands from CVS.

Affected versions: 7.2, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, 9.0,
Single Network Firewall 7.2


Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
