Sebastian Krahmer and Stefan Esser discovered several vulnerabilities
in the CVS server, which serves the popular Concurrent Versions
System.  The Common Vulnerability and Exposures project identifies the
following problems:

CAN-2004-0416: double-free() in error_prog_name

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
