- --------------------------------------------------------------------------Package        : gforge-plugin-scmcvs
Vulnerability  : missing input sanitising
Problem-Type   : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID         : CVE-2007-0246

Bernhard R. Link discovered that the CVS browsing interface of Gforge, a
collaborative development tool, performs insufficient escaping of URLs,
which allows the execution of arbitrary shell commands with the privileges
of the www-data user.

The oldstable distribution (sarge) is not affected by this problem.

For the stable distribution (etch) this problem has been fixed in
version 4.5.14-5.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 4.5.14-6.

We recommend that you upgrade your gforge-plugin-scmcvs package.
