Security Advisory: CVS and Subversion Critical Flaws Detected

Flaws in two popular source code database applications could allow attackers to access and corrupt open-source software projects, according to a security researcher. One vulnerability affects the Concurrent Versions System (CVS), an application used by many developers to store program code. The other flaw affects a newer, less widely used system known as Subversion, said Stefan Esser, the researcher who discovered the security holes. . . .. Flaws in two popular source code database applications could allow attackers to access and corrupt open-source software projects, according to a security researcher. One vulnerability affects the Concurrent Versions System (CVS), an application used by many developers to store program code. The other flaw affects a newer, less widely used system known as Subversion, said Stefan Esser, the researcher who discovered the security holes. The CVS software, in particular, is run by many large open-source projects to create servers that maintain the versions of a program under development. Groups developing the Gnome and KDE Linux desktops, the Apache web server and large Linux distributions, are among those that use servers with the source code databases.
