|
|
Multiple boundary errors in the functions diff_addremove() and
|
|
diff_change() when processing overly long repository path names were
|
|
reported.

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A remote attacker could entice a user to run commands like "git-diff"
|
|
or "git-grep" on a specially crafted repository, possibly resulting in
|
|
the remote execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user
|
|
running the application.
|
|
</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-1.5.6.4"</code>
|
