    Package : cvsnt
    Vulnerability : programming error
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE Id : CVE-2010-1326
    Debian Bug : 593884

    It has been discovered that in cvsnt, a multi-platform version of the
    original source code versioning system CVS, an error in the
    authentication code allows a malicious, unprivileged user, through the
    use of a specially crafted branch name, to gain write access to any
    module or directory, including CVSROOT itself. The attacker can then
    execute arbitrary code as root by modifying or adding administrative
    scripts in that directory.

    For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.5.03.2382-3.3+lenny1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your cvsnt package.

    Upgrade instructions
