SuSE-SA:2004:008: cvs

Vulnerability Assessment Summary Check for the version of the cvs package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory SuSE-SA:2004:008 (cvs). The Concurrent Versions System (CVS) offers tools which permit developers to share and maintain large software projects. During the analyzation of the CVS protocol and their implementation, the SuSE Security Team discovered a flaw within the handling of pathnames. Evil CVS servers could specify absolute pathnames during checkouts and updates, which permits to create arbitrary files with the permissions of the user invoking the CVS client. This could lead to a compromise of the system. Please download the update package for your distribution and verify its integrity by the methods listed in section 3) of this announcement. Then, install the package using the command 'rpm -Fhv file.rpm' to apply the update.
