From the [upstream release
announcement](https://public-inbox.org/git/xmqqy3bcuy3l.fsf@gitster-ct
.c.googlers.com/) :

> These releases fix a security flaw (CVE-2018-17456), which allowed
an > attacker to execute arbitrary code by crafting a malicious
.gitmodules > file in a project cloned with --recurse-submodules. > >
When running 'git clone --recurse-submodules', Git parses the supplied
> .gitmodules file for a URL field and blindly passes it as an
argument > to a 'git clone' subprocess. If the URL field is set to a
string that > begins with a dash, this 'git clone' subprocess
interprets the URL as > an option. This can lead to executing an
arbitrary script shipped in > the superproject as the user who ran
'git clone'. > > In addition to fixing the security issue for the user
running 'clone', > the 2.17.2, 2.18.1 and 2.19.1 releases have an
'fsck' check which can > be used to detect such malicious repository
content when fetching or > accepting a push. See
'transfer.fsckObjects' in git-config(1). > > Credit for finding and
fixing this vulnerability goes to joernchen > and Jeff King,
respectively.
