The remote host is missing an update to cvs announced via advisory MDKSA-2004:058.
Another vulnerability was discovered related to Entry lines in cvs, by the development team (CVE-2004-0414).
As well, Stefan Esser and Sebastian Krahmer performed an audit on the cvs source code and discovered a number of other problems, including:
A double-free condition in the server code is exploitable (CVE-2004-0416).
By sending a large number of arguments to the CVS server, it is possible to cause it to allocate a huge amount of memory which does not fit into the address space, causing an error (CVE-2004-0417).
It was found that the serve_notify() function would write data out of bounds (CVE-2004-0418).
The provided packages update cvs to 1.11.16 and include patches to correct all of these problems.
Affected versions: 10.0, 9.1, 9.2, Corporate Server 2.1
