Red Hat Security Advisory 2023-3245-01

Red Hat Security Advisory 2023-3245-01 - Git is a distributed revision control system with a decentralized architecture. As opposed to centralized version control systems with a client-server model, Git ensures that each working copy of a Git repository is an exact copy with complete revision history. This not only allows the user to work on and contribute to projects without the need to have permission to push the changes to their official repositories, but also makes it possible for the user to work with no network connection.

Debian Security Advisory 5357-1

Debian Linux Security Advisory 5357-1 - yvvdwf found a data exfiltration vulnerability while performing local clone from malicious repository even using a non-local transport. Joern Schneeweisz found a path traversal vulnerability in git-apply that a path outside the working tree can be overwritten as the acting user.

CVE-2023-23946: Sync with Git 2.39.2 · git/git@c867e4f

Git, a revision control system, is vulnerable to path traversal prior to versions 2.39.2, 2.38.4, 2.37.6, 2.36.5, 2.35.7, 2.34.7, 2.33.7, 2.32.6, 2.31.7, and 2.30.8. By feeding a crafted input to `git apply`, a path outside the working tree can be overwritten as the user who is running `git apply`. A fix has been prepared and will appear in v2.39.2, v2.38.4, v2.37.6, v2.36.5, v2.35.7, v2.34.7, v2.33.7, v2.32.6, v2.31.7, and v2.30.8. As a workaround, use `git apply --stat` to inspect a patch before applying; avoid applying one that creates a symbolic link and then creates a file beyond the symbolic link.
