Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-605-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'viewcvs' package(s) announced via the DSA-605-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'viewcvs' package(s) announced via the DSA-605-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Haris Sehic discovered several vulnerabilities in viewcvs, a utility for viewing CVS and Subversion repositories via HTTP. When exporting a repository as a tar archive the hide_cvsroot and forbidden settings were not honoured enough.

When upgrading the package for woody, please make a copy of your /etc/viewcvs/viewcvs.conf file if you have manually edited this file. Upon upgrade the debconf mechanism may alter it in a way so that viewcvs doesn't understand it anymore.

For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 0.9.2-4woody1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 0.9.2+cvs.1.0.dev.2004.07.28-1.2.

We recommend that you upgrade your viewcvs package.

Affected Software/OS:
'viewcvs' package(s) on Debian 3.0.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
5.0
