[slackware-security] git

New git packages are available for Slackware 13.0, 13.1, 13.37, 14.0, 14.1,
14.2, and -current to fix security issues.

Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog:

patches/packages/git-2.14.1-i586-1_slack14.2.txz: Upgraded.
Fixes security issues:
A “ssh://…” URL can result in a “ssh” command line with a hostname that
begins with a dash “-”, which would cause the “ssh” command to instead
(mis)treat it as an option. This is now prevented by forbidding such a
hostname (which should not impact any real-world usage).
Similarly, when GIT_PROXY_COMMAND is configured, the command is run with
host and port that are parsed out from “ssh://…” URL; a poorly written
GIT_PROXY_COMMAND could be tricked into treating a string that begins with a
dash “-” as an option. This is now prevented by forbidding such a hostname
and port number (again, which should not impact any real-world usage).
