Synopsis
=======
Multiple security issues have been reported in ViewVC, which can be
exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions.
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"
