CVE-2000-0338

Summary

CVE-2000-0338 is a denial-of-service vulnerability affecting Concurrent Versions Software (CVS). The issue arises due to CVS using predictable temporary file names for locking mechanisms. Malicious local users can exploit this by creating the lock directory before it is generated for legitimate usage, denying access to affected CVS users. This vulnerability may lead to service disruptions and productivity loss in environments that rely on CVS for version control.
