+Package: cvs
+Vulnerability: filesystem violation
+OpenPKG Specific: no
+
+Affected Releases: Affected Packages: Corrected Packages:
+OpenPKG CURRENT <= cvs-1.11.6-20030527 >= cvs-1.12.1-20030527
+OpenPKG 1.3 <= cvs-1.12.1-1.3.0 >= cvs-1.12.1-1.3.1
+OpenPKG 1.2 <= cvs-1.11.5-1.2.2 >= cvs-1.11.5-1.2.3
+
+Dependent Packages: none
+
+Description:
+ According to a cvs security update [0], a malformed module request can
+ cause the CVS server [1] to attempt to create directories and possibly
+ files at the root of the filesystem holding the CVS repository. Even
+ though filesystem permissions usually prevent the creation of these
+ misplaced directories, the corrected OpenPKG packages include a CVS
+ server which rejects such malformed requests.
+
+ Please check whether you are affected by running "<prefix>/bin/rpm -q
+ cvs". If the "cvs" package is indeed installed and its version is
+ affected (see above), please upgrade it immediately according to
+ OpenPKG recommendations (see Solution). [2][3]
+
+Solution:
+ Select the updated source RPM appropriate for your OpenPKG release
+ [4][5], fetch it from the OpenPKG FTP service [6][7] or a mirror
+ location, verify its integrity [8], build a corresponding binary RPM
+ from it [2] and update your OpenPKG installation by applying the binary
+ RPM [3]. For the current release OpenPKG 1.3, perform the following
+ operations to permanently fix the security problem (for other releases
+ adjust accordingly).
+
+ $ ftp ftp.openpkg.org
+ ftp> bin
+ ftp> cd release/1.3/UPD
+ ftp> get cvs-1.12.1-1.3.1.src.rpm
+ ftp> bye
+ $ <prefix>/bin/rpm -v --checksig cvs-1.12.1-1.3.1.src.rpm
+ $ <prefix>/bin/rpm --rebuild cvs-1.12.1-1.3.1.src.rpm
+ $ su -
+ # <prefix>/bin/rpm -Fvh <prefix>/RPM/PKG/cvs-1.12.1-1.3.1.*.rpm
