CVE-2024-24577

A flaw was found in libgit2, a cross-platform, linkable library implementation of Git. A specially crafted payload to git_index_add can cause heap corruption that could be leveraged for arbitrary code execution. The attacker must be able to trigger two consecutive calls to git_index_add with a filename that starts with a / character to exploit this vulnerability. To control the heap corruption, the attacker must be able to control the ctime field of the git_index_entry data structure.
