Category:FreeBSD Local Security Checks
Title:FreeBSD Security Advisory (FreeBSD-SA-05:05.cvs.asc)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update to the system; as announced in the referenced advisory FreeBSD-SA-05:05.cvs.asc
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update to the system
as announced in the referenced advisory FreeBSD-SA-05:05.cvs.asc

Vulnerability Insight:
The Concurrent Versions System (CVS) is a version control system. It
may be used to access a repository locally, or to access a `remote
repository' using a number of different methods. When accessing a
remote repository, the target machine runs the CVS server to fulfill
client requests.

Multiple programming errors were found in CVS. In one case, variable
length strings are copied into a fixed length buffer without adequate
checks being made. Other errors include NULL pointer dereferences,
possible use of uninitialized variables, and memory leaks.

Solution:
Upgrade your system to the appropriate stable release
or security branch dated after the correction date.

CVSS Score:
