"The remote Fedora 32 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
FEDORA-2021-ffd0b2108d advisory.
- Git is an open-source distributed revision control system. In affected versions of Git a specially crafted
repository that contains symbolic links as well as files using a clean/smudge filter such as Git LFS, may
cause just-checked out script to be executed while cloning onto a case-insensitive file system such as
NTFS, HFS+ or APFS (i.e. the default file systems on Windows and macOS). Note that clean/smudge filters
have to be configured for that. Git for Windows configures Git LFS by default, and is therefore
vulnerable. The problem has been patched in the versions published on Tuesday, March 9th, 2021. As a
workaound, if symbolic link support is disabled in Git (e.g. via `git config --global core.symlinks
false`), the described attack won't work. Likewise, if no clean/smudge filters such as Git LFS are
configured globally (i.e. _before_ cloning), the attack is foiled. As always, it is best to avoid cloning
repositories from untrusted sources. The earliest impacted version is 2.14.2. The fix versions are:
2.30.1, 2.29.3, 2.28.1, 2.27.1, 2.26.3, 2.25.5, 2.24.4, 2.23.4, 2.22.5, 2.21.4, 2.20.5, 2.19.6, 2.18.5,
