Just a quick reminder that the 'old' versions of CVSNT shipped with
TortoiseCVS and WinCVS have known security vulnerabilities:
https://www.march-hare.com/cvspro/security.htm
CVSNT is the software that actually does the 'checkout' and 'commit'
operations - you can 'see' it running in the 'progress' window in
WinCVS. CVSNT is bundled with some copies of WinCVS. WinCVS is the
'GUI' that gives you the drop down menus etc. WinCVS itself does not do
any version control, that's what CVSNT does.
In particular the CVSNT client (and hence WinCVS) is susceptible to the
recent 'FREAK' SSL bug. CVSNT servers are also affected:

CVS Suite 2009R2 (CVSNT 2.8.01) was updated on 30th March 2015 to
resolve this.
CVS Suite 2009R2 client contains TortoiseCVS, WinCVS, CVS Suite Studio,
Release Manager etc. and is compatible with Windows 8, Windows 7,
Windows Vista and Windows XP.
CVS Suite 2009R2 command line client is compatible with Linux, Mac and
Windows.
CVS Suite 2009R2 server contains the high performance server service,
integration with Jira, Bugzilla and Mantis, failsafe audit, change and
merge tracking and is compatible with Linux, Mac, and Windows Server
2012R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2008R2, Windows Server 2008
and Windows Server 2003.
