Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200803-29 (ViewVC: Multiple vulnerabilities)

Multiple unspecified errors were reportedly fixed by the ViewVC     development team.

Impact :

A remote attacker could send a specially crafted URL to the server to     list CVS or SVN commits on 'all-forbidden' files, access hidden CVSROOT     folders, and view restricted content via the revision view, the log     history, or the diff view.

Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.
