Bug 47800 – dev-util/cvs : 1.11.15 update contains security fixes

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Security

[Description gen2daniel 2004-04-14 08:35:46 UTC]

Changes since 1.11.14:
**********************

SERVER SECURITY ISSUES

* Piped checkouts of paths above $CVSROOT no longer work.  Previously, clients
  could have requested the contents of RCS archive files anywhere on a CVS
  server.

CLIENT SECURITY ISSUES

* Clients now check paths from the server to verify that they are within one of
  the sandboxes the user requested be updated.  Previously, a trojan server
  could have written or overwritten files anywhere the user had access,
  presenting a serious security risk.

Hi, I already committed a cvs-1.11.15 ebuild about 5 minutes ago ;)
I was going to report this to our security guys but then I saw this bug already

I'd like to mark it stable on all archs later today if there are no objections.

[Comment 2 Thierry Carrez (RETIRED) 2004-04-14 08:52:57 UTC]

OK -- waiting for stable

[Comment 3 Rainer Größlinger (RETIRED) 2004-04-14 11:48:40 UTC]

after doing the usual testing, it's now stable on all architectures

Excellent ... I'll start drafting a GLSA for this.

GLSA 200404-13.

Thanks Kurt for sending this one out, since I'm having problems with full-disclosure.
