+  <background>
+    <p>
+    CVS (Concurrent Versions System) is an open-source network-transparent
+    version control system. It contains both a client utility and a server.
+    </p>
+  </background>
+  <description>
+    <p>
+    Stefan Esser discovered a heap overflow in the CVS server, which can be
+    triggered by sending malicious "Entry" lines and manipulating the flags
+    related to that Entry. This vulnerability was proven to be exploitable.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="high">
+    <p>
+    A remote attacker can execute arbitrary code on the CVS server, with the
+    rights of the CVS server. By default, Gentoo uses the "cvs" user to run the
+    CVS server. In particular, this flaw allows a complete compromise of CVS
+    source repositories. If you're not running a server, then you are not
+    vulnerable.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time. All users are advised to upgrade
+    to the latest available version of CVS.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All users running a CVS server should upgrade to the latest stable version:
+    </p>
