Fixes since v2.37.3 ------------------- + * CVE-2022-39253: + When relying on the `--local` clone optimization, Git dereferences + symbolic links in the source repository before creating hardlinks + (or copies) of the dereferenced link in the destination repository. + This can lead to surprising behavior where arbitrary files are + present in a repository's `$GIT_DIR` when cloning from a malicious + repository. + + Git will no longer dereference symbolic links via the `--local` + clone mechanism, and will instead refuse to clone repositories that + have symbolic links present in the `$GIT_DIR/objects` directory. + + Additionally, the value of `protocol.file.allow` is changed to be + "user" by default. + + Credit for finding CVE-2022-39253 goes to Cory Snider of Mirantis. + The fix was authored by Taylor Blau, with help from Johannes + Schindelin. + + * CVE-2022-39260: + An overly-long command string given to `git shell` can result in + overflow in `split_cmdline()`, leading to arbitrary heap writes and + remote code execution when `git shell` is exposed and the directory + `$HOME/git-shell-commands` exists. + + `git shell` is taught to refuse interactive commands that are + longer than 4MiB in size. `split_cmdline()` is hardened to reject + inputs larger than 2GiB. + + Credit for finding CVE-2022-39260 goes to Kevin Backhouse of + GitHub. The fix was authored by Kevin Backhouse, Jeff King, and + Taylor Blau. + * An earlier optimization discarded a tree-object buffer that is still in use, which has been corrected. |
