    Package        : git-lfs
    Version        : 2.13.2-1+deb11u2
    CVE ID         : CVE-2025-26625

    In Git LFS versions 0.5.2 through 3.7.0, when populating a Git repository's
    working tree with the contents of Git LFS objects, certain Git LFS commands
    could write to files visible outside the current Git working tree if symbolic
    or hard links existed which collided with the paths of files tracked by Git
    LFS.

    The git lfs checkout and git lfs pull commands did not check for symbolic
    links before writing to files in the working tree, which allowed an attacker
    to craft a repository containing symbolic or hard links that caused Git LFS
    to write to arbitrary file system locations accessible to the user running
    these commands.

    Also, when the git lfs checkout and git lfs pull commands were run in a bare
    repository, they could write to files visible outside the repository.
    The complete fix to this issue, specifically the behaviour of git lfs pull,
    requires a newer Git version, 2.42.0 or newer.

    As a workaround, support for symlinks in Git may be disabled by setting the
    core.symlinks configuration option to false, after which further clones and
    fetches will not create symbolic links. However, any symbolic or hard links
    in existing repositories will still provide the opportunity for Git LFS to
    write to their targets.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been partially fixed in version
    2.13.2-1+deb11u2. For a complete fix, Git 2.42.0 or newer is also required.

    We recommend that you upgrade your git-lfs packages.
