Stefan Esser discovered a problem in cvs, a concurrent versions system, which is used for many Free Software projects. The current version contains a flaw that can be used by a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the CVS server under the user id the CVS server runs as. Anonymous read-only access is sufficient to exploit this problem.
