Description:
According to an e-matters Security Advisory [0] from Stefan Esser
<s.esser (at) ematters (dot) de [email concealed]>, a vulnerability exists in the Concurrent
Versions System (CVS) [1] which allows remote compromise of CVS
servers. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project
assigned the id CAN-2003-0015 [2] to the problem.
Please check whether you are affected by running "<prefix>/bin/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 current release OpenPKG 1.1, perform the following
operations to permanently fix the security problem (for other releases
adjust accordingly).
$ ftp ftp.openpkg.org
ftp> bin
ftp> cd release/1.1/UPD
ftp> get cvs-1.11.2-1.1.1.src.rpm
ftp> bye
$ <prefix>/bin/rpm -v --checksig cvs-1.11.2-1.1.1.src.rpm
$ <prefix>/bin/rpm --rebuild cvs-1.11.2-1.1.1.src.rpm
$ su -
# <prefix>/bin/rpm -Fvh <prefix>/RPM/PKG/cvs-1.11.2-1.1.1.*.rpm
Additionally, we recommend that you rebuild and reinstall
all dependent packages (see above), if any, too. [3][4]
