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.

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 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.

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.

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 1.12.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.

Buffer overflow in CVS before 1.11.20 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.
