DSA-117-1 cvs Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Kim Nielsen recently found an internal problem with the CVS server and reported it to the vuln-dev mailing list. The problem is triggered by an improperly initialized global variable. A user exploiting this can crash the CVS server, which may be accessed through the pserver service and running under a remote user id. It is not yet clear if the remote account can be exposed, though. This problem has been fixed in version 1.10.7-9 for the stable Debian distribution with help of Niels Heinen and in versions newer than 1.11.1p1debian-3 for the testing and unstable distribution of Debian (not yet uploaded, though). We recommend that you upgrade your CVS package.
