script_tag(name:"insight", value:"Santos Gallegos discovered a blind local file inclusion in python-git, a Python library to interact with Git repositories, which could lead to denial of service or potentially information disclosure.
In order to resolve some git references, python-git reads files from the '.git' directory but, due to improper location check, an attacker can pass a file located outside this directory thereby making python-git read arbitrary file on the system.
It remains unclear whether the attacker can gain access to actual file content, but denial of service can be achieved by passing a large or infinite file such as /dev/random.
For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version 2.1.11-1+deb10u2.
We recommend that you upgrade your python-git packages.
