  - Git is a revision control system. Prior to versions 2.45.1, 2.44.1, 2.43.4, 2.42.2, 2.41.1, 2.40.2, and
    2.39.4, local clones may end up hardlinking files into the target repository's object database when source
    and target repository reside on the same disk. If the source repository is owned by a different user, then
    those hardlinked files may be rewritten at any point in time by the untrusted user. Cloning local
    repositories will cause Git to either copy or hardlink files of the source repository into the target
    repository. This significantly speeds up such local clones compared to doing a proper clone and saves
    both disk space and compute time. When cloning a repository located on the same disk that is owned by a
    different user than the current user we also end up creating such hardlinks. These files will continue to
    be owned and controlled by the potentially-untrusted user and can be rewritten by them at will in the
    future. The problem has been patched in versions 2.45.1, 2.44.1, 2.43.4, 2.42.2, 2.41.1, 2.40.2, and
    2.39.4. (CVE-2024-32020)
