|
<impact type="high">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A remote unauthenticated attacker can execute arbitrary commands via
|
|
shell metacharacters in a query, remote attackers with write access to
|
|
a git repository configuration can execute arbitrary commands with the
|
|
privileges of the user running gitweb by modifying the diff.external
|
|
configuration variable in the repository and sending a crafted query to
|
|
gitweb.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All git users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-util/git-1.6.0.6"</code>
