[slackware-security] cvs (SSA:2004-140-01)
New cvs packages are available for Slackware 8.1, 9.0, 9.1, and -current to
fix a buffer overflow vulnerability which could allow an attacker to run
arbitrary programs on the CVS server. Sites running a CVS server should
upgrade to the new CVS package right away.
More details about this issue may be found in the Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database:
