cvs vulnerability
===========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 17.04
- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Summary:

cvs could be made run programs as your login if it opened a
specially crafted cvs repository.

Software Description:
- cvs: Concurrent Versions System

Details:

Hank Leininger discovered that cvs did not properly handle SSH
for remote repositories. A remote attacker could use this to
construct a cvs repository that when accessed could run arbitrary
code with the privileges of the user.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 17.04:
 cvs=C2=A02:1.12.13+real-22ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
 cvs=C2=A02:1.12.13+real-12ubuntu0.1

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary
changes.
