At http://www.cvshome.org/ is this important news item:
The cvshome site is currently being thoroughly cleaned as a
direct result of an exploitative code set that attacks a cvs
security violation. The publication of this code makes all sites
running cvs with any remote protocol vulnerable. Use the following
information to determine if your site is at risk and to access
either a patch for this problem or a full source distribution
with the fix included.
Since the TeXlive source tree is being migrated to CVS, this seems highly
relevant.
