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.
