RHEL 8 : git (RHSA-2019:4356)

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2019:4356 advisory. Git is a distributed revision control system with a decentralized architecture. As opposed to centralized version control systems with a...

git: Remote code execution in recursive clones with nested submodules

A flaw was discovered where git improperly validates submodules' names used to construct git metadata paths and does not prevent them from being nested in existing directories used to store another submodule's metadata. A remote attacker could abuse this flaw to trick a victim user into cloning a...

git: Recursive submodule cloning allows using git directory twice with synonymous directory name written in .git/

An improper input validation flaw was discovered in git in the way it handles git submodules. A remote attacker could abuse this flaw to trick a victim user into recursively cloning a malicious repository, which, under certain circumstances, could fool git into using the same git directory twice...

Input validation vulnerability via Git in Sourcetree for Windows - CVE-2018-17456

There was an input validation vulnerability in Sourcetree for Windows via a Git repository with submodules. A remote attacker with permission to commit to a Git repository linked in Sourcetree for Windows is able to able to exploit this issue to gain code execution on the system. h4. Affected...

Arbitrary Shell Command Execution

Git-fastclone has a flaw that permits execution of arbitrary shell commands from .gitmodules. Attackers can trigger the execution by instructing a user to run a recursive clone from a repository they control. The attack is possible only if a user configures Git to automatically clone submodules...

Fedora 28 : git (2018-1c1a318a0b)

Upstream security update resolving an issue with git clone --recurse-submodules. From the upstream release announcement : These releases fix a security flaw CVE-2018-17456, which allowed an attacker to execute arbitrary code by crafting a malicious .gitmodules file in a project cloned with...

git: arbitrary code execution via .gitmodules

An option injection flaw has been discovered in git when it recursively clones a repository with sub-modules. A remote attacker may configure a malicious repository and trick a user into recursively cloning it, thus executing arbitrary commands on the victim's machine...

Updated git packages fix security vulnerability

joernchen of Phenoelit discovered that git is prone to an arbitrary code execution vulnerability due to insufficient validation of submodule url and path via a specially crafted .gitmodules file in a project cloned with --recurse-submodules CVE-2018-17456...

[slackware-security] git

New git packages are available for Slackware 14.0, 14.1, 14.2, and -current to fix a security issue. Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog: patches/packages/git-2.14.5-i586-1slack14.2.txz: Upgraded. This update fixes a security issue: Submodules' "URL"s come from the untrusted...

GHSA-8GG6-3R63-25M8 git-fastclone permits arbitrary shell command execution from .gitmodules

git-fastclone before 1.0.1 permits arbitrary shell command execution from .gitmodules. If an attacker can instruct a user to run a recursive clone from a repository they control, they can get a client to run an arbitrary shell command. Alternately, if an attacker can MITM an unencrypted git clone...

git: arbitrary code execution when recursively cloning a malicious repository

In Git before 2.13.7, 2.14.x before 2.14.4, 2.15.x before 2.15.2, 2.16.x before 2.16.4, and 2.17.x before 2.17.1, remote code execution can occur. With a crafted .gitmodules file, a malicious project can execute an arbitrary script on a machine that runs "git clone --recurse-submodules" because...

USN-3671-1 git vulnerabilities

Etienne Stalmans 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.
