    Description:
      According to an e-matters Security Advisory [0] from Stefan Esser
      <s.esserat_private>, a vulnerability exists in the Concurrent
      Versions System (CVS) [1] which allows remote compromise of CVS
      servers.  The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project
      assigned the id CAN-2003-0015 [2] to the problem.
    
      Please check whether you are affected by running "<prefix>/bin/rpm -q
      cvs". If you have the "cvs" package installed and its version is
      affected (see above), we recommend that you immediately upgrade
      it (see Solution). [3][4]
    
    Solution:
      Select the updated source RPM appropriate for your OpenPKG release
      [5][6], fetch it from the OpenPKG FTP service [7][8] or a mirror
      location, verify its integrity [9], build a corresponding binary RPM
      from it [3] and update your OpenPKG installation by applying the binary
      RPM [4]. For the current release OpenPKG 1.1, perform the following
      operations to permanently fix the security problem (for other releases
      adjust accordingly).
    
      $ ftp ftp.openpkg.org
      ftp> bin
      ftp> cd release/1.1/UPD
      ftp> get cvs-1.11.2-1.1.1.src.rpm
      ftp> bye
      $ <prefix>/bin/rpm -v --checksig cvs-1.11.2-1.1.1.src.rpm
      $ <prefix>/bin/rpm --rebuild cvs-1.11.2-1.1.1.src.rpm
      $ su -
      # <prefix>/bin/rpm -Fvh <prefix>/RPM/PKG/cvs-1.11.2-1.1.1.*.rpm
    
      Additionally, we recommend that you rebuild and reinstall
      all dependent packages (see above), if any, too. [3][4]
