Package: viewvc
Severity: grave
Tags: security
Justification: user security hole

Viewvc 1.0.5 fixes several security issues:

  * security fix: omit commits of all-forbidden files from query results
  * security fix: disallow direct URL navigation to hidden CVSROOT folder
  * security fix: strip forbidden paths from revision view
  * security fix: don't traverse log history thru forbidden locations
  * security fix: honor forbiddenness via diff view path parameters

Please mention the following CVE IDs when fixing this:

CVE-2008-1290 - list CVS or SVN commits on "all-forbidden"
files

CVE-2008-1291 - directly access hidden CVSROOT folders

CVE-2008-1292 - expose restricted content via the revision
view, the log history, or the diff view

Cheers,
