Take a look at www.debian.org--I read there's a lot of security updates
on the cvs package. Also take a look at the debian mailing lists
(debian-user, debian-devel, debian-security) and search for cvs. I
myself have cvs installed, but I haven't really played with it, so I
leave it be for the time being (most of the time I use the client to
update my wine-cvs sources...;)

Also a good place to get info on cvs is debianhelp.org and
debianplanet.org... there's also google...

Cheers,
