Detail
| 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, through. This problem has been fixed in version 1.10.7-9 for the stable Debian distribution and in version 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. wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for sources.list as given below: apt-get update will update the internal database apt-get upgrade will install corrected packages You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the footer to the proper configuration.
