Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
_______________________________________________________________________
Package name: cvs
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2003:112-1
Date: December 10th, 2003
Original Advisory Date: December 8th, 2003
Affected versions: 9.1, 9.2
______________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
A vulnerability was discovered in the CVS server < 1.11.10 where a
malformed module request could cause the CVS server to attempt to
create directories and possibly files at the root of the filesystem
holding the CVS repository.
Updated packages are available that fix the vulnerability by providing
CVS 1.11.10 on all supported distributions.
Update:
The previous updates had an incorrect temporary directory hard-coded
in the cvs binary for 9.1 and 9.2. This update corrects the problem.
