It was discovered that Git incorrectly handled certain subcommands such as cvsserver. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue via shell metacharacters in modules names to execute arbitrary code.

This update also removes the cvsserver subcommand from git-shell by default.

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.
