Insight

Insight

Git is vulnerable to the remote execution of arbitrary code by cloning repositories with large filenames or a large number of nested trees. Additionally, some protocols within Git, such as git-remote-ext, can execute arbitrary code found within URLs. These URLs that submodules use may come from arbitrary sources (e.g., .gitmodules files in a remote repository), and can effect those who enable recursive fetch. Restrict the allowed protocols to well known and safe ones.

Solution

Solution

Update the affected packages to the latest available version.
