+ <title>ViewCVS: Information leak and XSS vulnerabilities</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ ViewCVS is vulnerable to an information leak and to cross-site scripting
+ (XSS) issues.

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ ViewCVS is a browser interface for viewing CVS and Subversion
+ version control repositories through a web browser.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ The tar export functions in ViewCVS bypass the 'hide_cvsroot' and
+ 'forbidden' settings and therefore expose information that should be
+ kept secret (CAN-2004-0915). Furthermore, some error messages in
+ ViewCVS do not filter user-provided information, making it vulnerable
+ to a cross-site scripting attack (CAN-2004-1062).
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="low">
+ <p>
+ By using the tar export functions, a remote attacker could access
+ information that is configured as restricted. Through the use of a
+ malicious request, an attacker could also inject and execute malicious
+ script code, potentially compromising another user's browser.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All ViewCVS users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=www-apps/viewcvs-0.9.2_p20041207-r1&quot;</code>
