"Previous versions of git mishandled layers of tree objects, which
allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory
consumption) via a crafted repository, aka a git bomb. This can also
have an impact of disk consumption; however, an affected process
typically would not survive its attempt to build the data structure in
memory before writing to disk.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding
description block directly from the Fedora update system website.
Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as
possible without introducing additional issues.");
