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.  :-)
