Description

A vulnerability has been identified in CVS, allowing malicious users to create arbitrary folders and possibly files in the root of the host's file system.

The problem is that CVS fails to detect attempts to create directories and files.

The vulnerability affects versions 1.11.9 and prior.

NOTE: Such attacks are usually not possible due to the file permissions set on host systems.


Solution
Version 1.116.2.40 is not vulnerable.
