Description:
Debian has issued an update for cvs. This fixes two vulnerabilities, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass password protection or cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
1) A security issue makes it possible to bypass the password protection and gain access to a repository when using the pserver access method.
2) A vulnerability can be exploited to crash the CVS server when the cvs-repouids file exists but doesn't contain a mapping for the current repository.
