-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ________________________________________________________________________ OpenPKG Security Advisory The OpenPKG Project http://www.openpkg.org/security.html http://www.openpkg.org openpkg-security@openpkg.org openpkg@openpkg.org OpenPKG-SA-2003.004 21-Jan-2003 ________________________________________________________________________ Package: cvs Vulnerability: remote root compromise OpenPKG Specific: no Affected Releases: Affected Packages: Corrected Packages: OpenPKG CURRENT <= cvs-1.11.4-20030114 >= cvs-1.11.5-20030121 OpenPKG 1.1 <= cvs-1.11.2-1.1.0 >= cvs-1.11.2-1.1.1 OpenPKG 1.0 <= cvs-1.11.1p1-1.0.1 >= cvs-1.11.1p1-1.0.2 Affected Releases: Dependent Packages: none Description: According to an e-matters Security Advisory [0] from Stefan Esser <s.esser@ematters.de>, a vulnerability exists in the Concurrent Versions System (CVS) [1] which allows remote compromise of CVS servers. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project assigned the id CAN-2003-0015 [2] to the problem. Please check whether you are affected by running "<prefix>/bin/rpm -q cvs". If you have the "cvs" package installed and its version is affected (see above), we recommend that you immediately upgrade it (see Solution). [3][4] Solution: Select the updated source RPM appropriate for your OpenPKG release [5][6], fetch it from the OpenPKG FTP service [7][8] or a mirror location, verify its integrity [9], build a corresponding binary RPM from it [3] and update your OpenPKG installation by applying the binary RPM [4]. For the current release OpenPKG 1.1, perform the following operations to permanently fix the security problem (for other releases adjust accordingly). $ ftp ftp.openpkg.org ftp> bin ftp> cd release/1.1/UPD ftp> get cvs-1.11.2-1.1.1.src.rpm ftp> bye $ <prefix>/bin/rpm -v --checksig cvs-1.11.2-1.1.1.src.rpm $ <prefix>/bin/rpm --rebuild cvs-1.11.2-1.1.1.src.rpm $ su - # <prefix>/bin/rpm -Fvh <prefix>/RPM/PKG/cvs-1.11.2-1.1.1.*.rpm Additionally, we recommend that you rebuild and reinstall all dependent packages (see above), if any, too.
