- Applied upstream fix to an array index error, leading to a heap-based
  buffer overflow, found in the way CVS applied certain delta fragment
  changes from input files in the RCS (Revision Control System) file
  format.  If an attacker in control of a CVS repository stored a
  specially-crafted RCS file in that repository, this could result in
  arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the CVS server process
  on the system hosting the CVS repository when a remote user eventually
  checks out a revision of the affected file.
  Special thanks to Owl for the description.
  (CVE-2010-3846; closes: [#24468](<https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/24468>)).
