CVE-2024-32465

Git is a revision control system. The Git project recommends to avoid
working in untrusted repositories, and instead to clone it first with git clone --no-local to obtain a clean copy. Git has specific protections to
make that a safe operation even with an untrusted source repository, but
vulnerabilities allow those protections to be bypassed. In the context of
cloning local repositories owned by other users, this vulnerability has
been covered in CVE-2024-32004. But there are circumstances where the fixes
for CVE-2024-32004 are not enough: For example, when obtaining a .zip
file containing a full copy of a Git repository, it should not be trusted
by default to be safe, as e.g. hooks could be configured to run within the
context of that repository. The problem has been patched in versions
2.45.1, 2.44.1, 2.43.4, 2.42.2, 2.41.1, 2.40.2, and 2.39.4. As a
workaround, avoid using Git in repositories that have been obtained via
archives from untrusted sources.
