-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2010-16600 2010-10-22 17:31:35 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : cvs Product : Fedora 13 Version : 1.11.23 Release : 10.fc13 URL : http://www.cvshome.org/ Summary : A version control system Description : 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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Thu Oct 21 2010 Petr Pisar <ppisar@redhat.com> - 1.11.23-10 - Fix CVE-2010-3846 (bug #645386) * Tue Jan 12 2010 Jiri Moskovcak <jmoskovc@redhat.com> 1.11.23-9 - spec file fixes based on review -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #642146 - CVE-2010-3846 cvs: Heap-based buffer overflow by applying RCS file changes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=642146 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
