| Local off by one overflow in CVSD.

There is no such thing as cvsd.  It's called cvs in both server and
client mode.

[...]

| in cvs-1.11/src/rcs.c:

cvs-1.11 is ancient.  cvs-1.11.2 is the current version, and it's
fixed there.  (It was fixed between .1p1 and .2.)

| vendor notification: nope.

uhm, why not?  If you think there is a security hole in a product you
should absolutely notify the vendor.
