    [slackware-security] cvs security update (SSA:2004-108-02)

    CVS is a client/server version control system. As a server, it
    is used to host source code repositories. As a client, it is
    used to access such repositories. This advisory affects both uses
    of CVS.

    A security problem which could allow a server to create arbitrary
    files on a client machine, and another security problem which may
    allow a client to view files outside of the CVS repository have
    been fixed with the release of cvs-1.11.15.

    Any sites running CVS should upgrade to the new CVS package.

    Here are the details from the Slackware 9.1 ChangeLog:
    +--------------------------+

    patches/packages/cvs-1.11.15-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to cvs-1.11.15.
      Fixes two security problems (server creating arbitrary files on a client
      machine, and client viewing files outside of the CVS repository).
