Description

Joern Schneeweisz and Nicolas Joly discovered that Git contained various security flaws. An attacker could possibly use these issues to overwrite arbitrary paths, execute arbitrary code, and overwrite files in the .git directory.

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.
