Git is a free and open source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency.
Git contains a stack-based buffer overflow in the is_git_directory function in setup.c.
A local attacker could gain escalated privileges via a specially crafted git repository.
There is no known workaround at this time.
All Git users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-vcs/git-1.7.2.2"
NOTE: This is a legacy GLSA. Updates for all affected architectures are available since September 11, 2010. It is likely that your system is already no longer affected by this issue.
OS | Version | Architecture | Package | Version | Filename |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
