Slackware 8.1 / 9.0 / 9.1 / current : cvs security update (SSA:2004-108-02)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 18765

Synopsis

The remote Slackware host is missing a security update.

Description

CVS is a client/server version control system. As a server, it is used to host source code repositories. As a client, it is used to access such repositories. This advisory affects both uses of CVS. A security problem which could allow a server to create arbitrary files on a client machine, and another security problem which may allow a client to view files outside of the CVS repository have been fixed with the release of cvs-1.11.15. Any sites running CVS should upgrade to the new CVS package.

Solution

Update the affected cvs package.
