Description:

The remote host seems to be running cvstrac,
a web-based bug and patch-set tracking system for CVS.

This version of CVSTRAC is vulnerable to a flaw wherein
a remote attacker can overwrite a critical file, thereby
giving them elevated access and potentially control
over other user accounts.

***** Nessus has determined the vulnerability exists on the target
***** simply by looking at the version number(s) of CVSTrac
***** installed there.


Solution : Update to version 1.1.4 or disable this CGI suite
Risk factor : High
