"The CentOS Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
TuxCare CENTOS7:CLSA-2024:1712672592 advisory.
- git_connect_git in connect.c in Git before 2.30.1 allows a repository path to contain a newline character,
which may result in unexpected cross-protocol requests, as demonstrated by the
git://localhost:1234/%0d%0a%0d%0aGET%20/%20HTTP/1.1 substring. (CVE-2021-40330)
- Git is an open source, scalable, distributed revision control system. `git shell` is a restricted login
shell that can be used to implement Git's push/pull functionality via SSH. In versions prior to 2.30.6,
2.31.5, 2.32.4, 2.33.5, 2.34.5, 2.35.5, 2.36.3, and 2.37.4, the function that splits the command arguments
into an array improperly uses an `int` to represent the number of entries in the array, allowing a
malicious actor to intentionally overflow the return value, leading to arbitrary heap writes. Because the
resulting array is then passed to `execv()`, it is possible to leverage this attack to gain remote code
execution on a victim machine. Note that a victim must first allow access to `git shell` as a login shell
in order to be vulnerable to this attack. This problem is patched in versions 2.30.6, 2.31.5, 2.32.4,
2.33.5, 2.34.5, 2.35.5, 2.36.3, and 2.37.4 and users are advised to upgrade to the latest version.
Disabling `git shell` access via remote logins is a viable short-term workaround. (CVE-2022-39260)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
