Background ========== ViewVC is a browser interface for CVS and Subversion version control repositories. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 www-apps/viewvc < 1.05 >= 1.05 Description =========== Multiple unspecified errors were reportedly fixed by the ViewVC development team. Impact ====== A remote attacker could send a specially crafted URL to the server to list CVS or SVN commits on "all-forbidden" files, access hidden CVSROOT folders, and view restricted content via the revision view, the log history, or the diff view. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All ViewVC users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apps/viewvc-1.05" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2008-1290 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-1290 [ 2 ] CVE-2008-1291 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-1291 [ 3 ] CVE-2008-1292 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-1292 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200803-29.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
