    Shawn O. Pearce reported that git-daemon runs into an infinite loop
    when handling requests that contain unrecognized arguments.

  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote unauthenticated attacker could send a specially crafted
    request to git-daemon, possibly leading to a Denial of Service (CPU
    consumption).
    </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 &quot;&gt;=dev-util/git-1.6.3.3&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
