Double free vulnerability for the errorprogname string in CVS 1.12.x through 1.12.8, and 1.11.x through 1.11.16, may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.
CVS 1.12.x through 1.12.8, and 1.11.x through 1.11.16, does not properly handle malformed "Entry" lines, which prevents a NULL terminator from being used and may lead to a denial of service (crash), modification of critical program data, or arbitrary code execution.
servenotify in CVS 1.12.x through 1.12.8, and 1.11.x through 1.11.16, does not properly handle empty data lines, which may allow remote attackers to perform an "out-of-bounds" write for a single byte to execute arbitrary code or modify critical program data.
Double-free vulnerability in CVS 1.11.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a malformed Directory request, as demonstrated by bypassing write checks to execute Update-prog and Checkin-prog commands.
Buffer overflow in CVS before 1.11.20 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.
CVS server before 1.11.10 may allow attackers to cause the CVS server to create directories and files in the file system root directory via malformed module requests.
CVS 1.12 and earlier on Debian GNU/Linux, when using the repouid patch, allows remote attackers to bypass authentication via the pserver access method.
The CVS 1.10.8 server does not properly restrict users from creating arbitrary Checkin.prog or Update.prog programs, which allows remote CVS committers to modify or create Trojan horse programs with the Checkin.prog or Update.prog names, then performing a CVS commit action.
Format string vulnerability in wrapper.c in CVS 1.12.x through 1.12.8, and 1.11.x through 1.11.16 allows remote attackers with CVSROOT commit access to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in a wrapper line.
CVS before 1.10.8 does not properly initialize a global variable, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (server crash) via the diff capability.
Integer overflow in the "Max-dotdot" CVS protocol command (servemaxdotdot) for CVS 1.12.x through 1.12.8, and 1.11.x through 1.11.16, may allow remote attackers to cause a server crash, which could cause temporary data to remain undeleted and consume disk space.
CVS 1.11.x before 1.11.17, and 1.12.x before 1.12.9, allows remote attackers to determine the existence of arbitrary files and directories via the -X command for an alternate history file, which causes different error messages to be returned.
The CVS 1.10.8 client trusts pathnames that are provided by the CVS server, which allows the server to force the client to create arbitrary files.
