The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200404-13 (CVS Server and Client Vulnerabilities)
There are two vulnerabilities in CVS; one in the server and one in the client. The server vulnerability allows a malicious client to request the contents of any RCS file to which the server has permission, even those not located under $CVSROOT. The client vulnerability allows a malicious server to overwrite files on the client machine anywhere the client has permissions.
Impact :
Arbitrary files may be read or written on CVS clients and servers by anybody with access to the CVS tree.
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time. All users are encouraged to upgrade to the latest stable version of CVS.
