patched.");

"The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied
patch available.

  - Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that
    provides both high-level operations and full access to internals. When Git asks for credentials via a
    terminal prompt (i.e. without using any credential helper), it prints out the host name for which the user
    is expected to provide a username and/or a password. At this stage, any URL-encoded parts have been
    decoded already, and are printed verbatim. This allows attackers to craft URLs that contain ANSI escape
    sequences that the terminal interpret to confuse users e.g. into providing passwords for trusted Git
    hosting sites when in fact they are then sent to untrusted sites that are under the attacker's control.
    This issue has been patch via commits `7725b81` and `c903985` which are included in release versions
    v2.48.1, v2.47.2, v2.46.3, v2.45.3, v2.44.3, v2.43.6, v2.42.4, v2.41.3, and v2.40.4. Users are advised to
    upgrade. Users unable to upgrade should avoid cloning from untrusted URLs, especially recursive clones.
