Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.52649
Category:FreeBSD Local Security Checks
Title:FreeBSD Security Advisory (FreeBSD-SA-04:07.cvs.asc)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update to the system; as announced in the referenced advisory FreeBSD-SA-04:07.cvs.asc
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update to the system
as announced in the referenced advisory FreeBSD-SA-04:07.cvs.asc

Vulnerability Insight:
The Concurrent Versions System (CVS) is a version control system. It
may be used to access a repository locally, or to access a `remote
repository' using a number of different methods. When accessing a
remote repository, the target machine runs the CVS server to fulfill
client requests.

Two programming errors were discovered in which path names handled by
CVS were not properly validated. In one case, CVE-2004-0180, the CVS
client accepts absolute path names from the server when determining
which files to update. In another case, CVE-2004-0405, the CVS server
accepts relative path names from the client when determining which
files to transmit, including those containing references to parent
directories (`../').

Solution:
Upgrade your system to the appropriate stable release
or security branch dated after the correction date.
