Synopsis
cvs bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated CVS package that fixes two bugs is now available.
Description
Concurrent Version System (CVS) is a version control system that can record
the history of your files.
This updated package fixes the following two bugs:
- mismatches between hosts sometimes caused the CVS client to present
incorrect credentials to servers with gserver authentication. This update
ensures the correct credentials are supplied by confirming the IP address
of the currently-connected server so that host mismatch does not occur.
(BZ#473245)
- attempting to process large numbers of files with long names caused
problems with some scripts due to lengthy command line arguments. This
problem has been resolved by adding the possibility of passing arguments
through standard input. (BZ#462062)
All users of cvs are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves these issues.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
