Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.53313
Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian Security Advisory DSA 233-1 (cvs)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to cvs
announced via advisory DSA 233-1.

Stefan Esser discovered a problem in cvs, a concurrent versions
system, which is used for many Free Software projects. The current
version contais a flaw that can be used by a remote attacker to
execute arbitrary code on the CVS server under the user id the CVS
server runs as. Anonymous read-only access is sufficient to exploit
this problem.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been
fixed in version 1.11.1p1debian-8.1.

For the old stable distribution (potato) this problem has been fixed
in version 1.10.7-9.2.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your cvs package immediately.
