Fedora 25: 2017-97eb475d93 Moderate: CVS Command Injection

CVS (Concurrent Versions System) is a version control system that can

record the history of your files (usually, but not always, source

code). CVS only stores the differences between versions, instead of

every version of every file you have ever created. CVS also keeps a log

of who, when, and why changes occurred.

CVS is very helpful for managing releases and controlling the

concurrent editing of source files among multiple authors. Instead of

providing version control for a collection of files in a single

directory, CVS provides version control for a hierarchical collection

of directories consisting of revision controlled files. These

directories and files can then be combined together to form a software

release.

This relase fixes CVE-2017-12836 vulerbaility (command injection via malicious

SSH URL).
