+Affected Releases: Affected Packages: Corrected Packages:
+OpenPKG CURRENT <= cvs-1.12.11-20050408 >= cvs-1.12.11-20050504
+OpenPKG 2.3 <= cvs-1.12.9-2.3.0 >= cvs-1.12.9-2.3.1

+Dependent Packages: none
+
+Description:
+ According to a Debian bug report [0], a denial of service vulnerability
+ exists in the embedded ZLib [1] compression logic of CVS. The problem
+ involves incorrect error handling in the inflate() and inflateBack()
+ functions. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project
+ assigned the identifier CAN-2004-0797 [2] to the problem.
+
+ Please check whether you are affected by running "<prefix>/bin/openpkg
+ rpm -q cvs". If you have the "cvs" package installed and its version
+ is affected (see above), we recommend that you immediately upgrade it
+ (see Solution). [3][4]
+
+Solution:
+ Select the updated source RPM appropriate for your OpenPKG release
+ [5][6], fetch it from the OpenPKG FTP service [7][8] or a mirror
+ location, verify its integrity [9], build a corresponding binary RPM
+ from it [3] and update your OpenPKG installation by applying the
+ binary RPM [4]. For the most recent release OpenPKG 2.3, perform the
+ following operations to permanently fix the security problem (for
+ other releases adjust accordingly).
+
+ $ ftp ftp.openpkg.org
+ ftp> bin
+ ftp> cd release/2.3/UPD
+ ftp> get cvs-1.12.9-2.3.1.src.rpm
+ ftp> bye
+ $ <prefix>/bin/openpkg rpm -v --checksig cvs-1.12.9-2.3.1.src.rpm
+ $ <prefix>/bin/openpkg rpm --rebuild cvs-1.12.9-2.3.1.src.rpm
+ $ su -
+ # <prefix>/bin/openpkg rpm -Fvh <prefix>/RPM/PKG/cvs-1.12.9-2.3.1.*.rpm
