It was discovered that Git incorrectly sanitized branch names in the PS1 variable when configured to display the repository status in the shell prompt. If a user were tricked into exploring a malicious repository, a remote attacker could use this issue to execute arbitrary code.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
