(ViewCVS: Information leak and XSS vulnerabilities)

    The tar export functions in ViewCVS bypass the 'hide_cvsroot' and
    'forbidden' settings and therefore expose information that should be
    kept secret (CAN-2004-0915). Furthermore, some error messages in
    ViewCVS do not filter user-provided information, making it vulnerable
    to a cross-site scripting attack (CAN-2004-1062).
  
Impact :

    By using the tar export functions, a remote attacker could access
    information that is configured as restricted. Through the use of a
    malicious request, an attacker could also inject and execute malicious
    script code, potentially compromising another user's browser.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
