Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.54123
Category:SuSE Local Security Checks
Title:SuSE Security Advisory SUSE-SA:2003:0007 (cvs)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory SUSE-SA:2003:0007.

CVS (Concurrent Versions System) is a version control system which
helps to manage concurrent editing of files by various authors.
Stefan Esser of e-matters reported a double free bug in CVS
server code for handling directory requests. This free() call allows
an attacker with CVS read access to compromise a CVS server.
Additionally two features ('Update-prog' and 'Checkin-prog') were
disabled to stop clients with write access to execute arbitrary code
on the server. These features may be configurable at run-time in future
releases of CVS server.

Solution:
Update your system with the packages as indicated in
the referenced security advisory.

Risk factor : High

CVSS Score:
