Insight
Insight
Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in git, a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system. CVE-2019-1348 It was reported that the --export-marks option of git fast-import is exposed also via the in-stream command feature export-marks=..., allowing to overwrite arbitrary paths. CVE-2019-1387 It was discovered that submodule names are not validated strictly enough, allowing very targeted attacks via remote code execution when performing recursive clones. In addition this update addresses a number of security issues which are only an issue if git is operating on an NTFS filesystem (CVE-2019-1349, CVE-2019-1352 and CVE-2019-1353).
