Open Source Vulnerability Database (OSVDB)
| Id | Description |
|---|---|
| 6836 | CVS CVSROOT Configuration File Empty Line Underflow A local overflow exists in CVS stable and CVS feature. CVS fails to adequately handle configuration files stored in CVSROOT containing empty lines, resulting in a single byte underflow. By providing such a formatted configuration file, an attacker can trigger the issue, resulting in a loss of availability and possibly other effects. It should be noted that only users with the COMMIT privilege can properly exploit this issue. It is further reported that only big-endian architectures (eg, SPARC, as opposed to Intel) should be affected adversely by this problem. |
