Concurrent Versions System (CVS), provides a version control system based on open-source code. Version control system software keeps track of all work and all changes in a set of files, and allows several developers (potentially widely separated in space and/or time) to collaborate.
This SonicWALL signature matches the access request for the CVS client on the internal network attempting to connect to a CVS server on an external network. Enabling this signature for prevention is useful in preventing unencrypted communications with publicly accessible (external) CVS repositories. |
