Debian Security Advisory

DSA-233-1 cvs -- doubly freed memory

Date Reported:

21 Jan 2003

Affected Packages:

cvs

Vulnerable:

Yes

Security database references:

In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2003-0015.
CERT's vulnerabilities, advisories and incident notes: CA-2003-02, VU#650937.

More information:

Stefan Esser discovered a problem in cvs, a concurrent versions system, which is used for many Free Software projects. The current version contains 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.

Fixed in:

Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 (potato)
