Package: cvsweb
Vulnerability type: remote shell
Debian-specific: no
The versions of cvsweb distributed in Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 (aka
slink) as well as in the frozen (potato) and unstable (woody)
distributions, are vulnerable to a remote shell exploit. An
attacker with write access to the cvs repository can execute
arbitrary code on the server, as the www-data user.
The vulnerability is fixed in version 109 of cvsweb for the
current stable release (Debian 2.1), in version 1.79-3potato1 for
the frozen distribution, and in version 1.86-1 for the unstable
distribution.
