Description
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

Alen Zukich has discovered several serious security issues in CVS,
including at least one buffer overflow (CAN-2005-0753), memory leaks
and a NULL pointer dereferencing error. Furthermore when launching
trigger scripts CVS includes a user controlled directory.

Resolution
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

All CVS users should upgrade to the latest version:

    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=3Ddev-util/cvs-1.11.20"


Availability
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
