Package : libgit2
CVE ID : CVE-2026-5917 CVE-2026-53583 CVE-2026-53584 CVE-2026-53585
CVE-2026-53586 CVE-2026-53587
Debian Bug : 1144465
Multiple security issues were discovered in libgit2, a low-level Git
library, which could result in the execution of arbitrary commands on a
remote SSH server, disclosure of credentials, denial of service or the
creation of directories outside a repository's working tree.
For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.9.0+ds-2+deb13u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your libgit2 packages.
For the detailed security status of libgit2 please refer to
its security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/libgit2
Further information about Debian Security Advisories, how to apply
these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
