Detail
| Stefan Esser discovered a heap overflow in the CVS server, which serves the popular Concurrent Versions System. Malformed "Entry" Lines in combination with Is-modified and Unchanged can be used to overflow malloc()ed memory. This was prooven to be exploitable. For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 1.11.1p1debian-9woody4. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 1.12.5-6. We recommend that you upgrade your cvs package immediately. |

| Id | Description |
|---|---|
| 6305 | CVS pserver Line Entry Handling Remote Overflow A remote overflow exists in CVS. The issue is due to a boundary error within the handling of modified or unchanged flag insertion into CVS entry lines, resulting in a heap overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can cause arbitrary code execution resulting in a loss of integrity. |
