Detail
| Stefan Esser discovered a problem in cvs, a concurrent versions system, which is used for many Free Software projects. The current version contais a flaw that can be used by a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the CVS server under the user id the CVS server runs as. Anonymous read-only access is sufficient to exploit this problem. For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 1.11.1p1debian-8.1. For the old stable distribution (potato) this problem has been fixed in version 1.10.7-9.2. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your cvs package immediately. |

| 3227 | CVS Malformed Directory Request Double-free Privilege Escalation CVS contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to gain access to unauthorized privileges. The issue is triggered when a user with write access to the repository sends a malformed directory name and makes special use of the "update-prog" and "checkin-prog" commands to execute arbitrary code on the server with the privileges of the running CVS server. If CVSROOT/passwd has been left as writeable this results in a root compromise. This flaw may lead to a loss of Confidentiality, Integrity and/or Availability. |
