Openwall GNU/*/Linux Information for VU#650937

Date Notified01/20/2003
Date Modified08/20/2003 04:12:17 PM
Status SummaryNot Vulnerable

Vendor Statement

We don't yet re-distribute CVS in Openwall GNU/*/Linux.

We do, however, provide public anonymous CVS access to a copy of our repository, hosted off a separate machine and in a chroot jail. This kind of vulnerabilities in CVS was expected, and our anoncvs setup is mostly resistant to them: read-only access to the repository is achieved primarily with the use of regular Unix permissions, not controls built into CVS. CVS LockDir option is used to direct CVS lock files to a separate directory tree, actually writable to the pseudo-user. Nevertheless, the anoncvs server has been upgraded to CVS 1.11.5 a few hours after it was released.
