Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-3671-1)

The remote host is missing an update for the 'git' package(s) announced via the USN-3671-1 advisory. It was discovered that git did not properly validate git submodules files. A remote attacker could possibly use this to craft a git repo that causes arbitrary code execution when 'git clone --recurse-submodules' is used. An integer overflow existed in git's pathname consistency checking code when used on NTFS filesystems. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or expose sensitive information
