An exploit (buffer overflow, as usual) to the CVS server has just
been released via Slashdot. Since cvs runs as root, it's a quite
serious sploit. I've upgraded to the latest version (which fixes
this problem), and had a look at the logs. Quimby seems fine.
I guess that all the other 95 million free software projects that use
cvs will a busy night tonight. Good luck. :-)
