Ubuntu 10.04 LTS / 10.10 / 11.04 / 11.10 : cvs vulnerability (USN-1371-1)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 58104

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security-related patch.

Description

It was discovered that cvs incorrectly handled certain responses from proxy servers. If a user were tricked into connecting to a malicious proxy server, a remote attacker could cause cvs to crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected cvs package.
