Package : viewcvs
Vulnerability : settings not honored
Problem-Type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CAN-2004-0915

Hajvan Sehic discovered several vulnerabilities in viewcvs, a utility
for viewing CVS and Subversion repositories via HTTP. When exporting
a repository as a tar archive the hide_cvsroot and forbidden settings
were not honoured enough.

When upgrading the package for woody, please make a copy of your
/etc/viewcvs/viewcvs.conf file if you have manually edited this file.
Upon upgrade the debconf mechanism may alter it in a way so that
viewcvs doesn't understand it anymore.

For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in
version 0.9.2-4woody1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 0.9.2+cvs.1.0.dev.2004.07.28-1.2.

We recommend that you upgrade your viewcvs package.


Upgrade Instructions
- --------------------

wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
will install corrected packages

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
