cvs log does not work as I expect, but it can be made to give what you want.
try 
cvs log -S -d "24 hours ago <"

the -S "Do not print name/header if no revisions selected."
and the < indicates I want changes after the specified date, and we leave
the up to date unspecified so cvs fills it in with NOW.

cvs log --help
is a little confusing, I had to go to an old email I answered to get this
trick.
        -d dates        A semicolon-separated list of dates
                        (D1<D2 for range, D for latest before).
perhaps a better output would be
        -d dates        A semicolon-separated list of dates, or
                        D1<D2 for a date range, or D< for changes since D,
or
                        D Select the single, latest revision dated D or
earlier.
