cvs - several

Several problems have been discovered in the CVS server, which serves
the popular Concurrent Versions System. The Common Vulnerabilities and
Exposures project identifies the following problems:

• CAN-2004-1342
  Maks Polunin and Alberto Garcia discovered independently that
  using the pserver access method in connection with the repouid
  patch that Debian uses it is possible to bypass the password and
  gain access to the repository in question.

• CAN-2004-1343
  Alberto Garcia discovered that a remote user can cause the cvs
  server to crash when the cvs-repouids file exists but does not
  contain a mapping for the current repository, which can be used as
  a denial of service attack.

For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.11.1p1debian-10.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.12.9-11.

We recommend that you upgrade your cvs package.
