CVE-2024-32020

A vulnerability was found in Git. This flaw allows an unauthenticated attacker to place a specialized repository on their target’s local system. For performance reasons, Git uses hardlinks when cloning a repository located on the same disk. However, if the repo being cloned is owned by a different user, this can introduce a security risk. At any time in the future, the original repo owner could rewrite the hardlinked files in the cloned user’s repo.

Mitigation

Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options don't meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability.
