Git is an open-source distributed revision control system. In affected versions of Git a specially crafted repository that contains symbolic links as well as files using a clean/smudge filter such as Git LFS, may cause just-checked out script to be executed while cloning onto a case-insensitive file system such as NTFS, HFS+ or APFS (i.e. the default file systems on Windows and macOS). Note that clean/smudge filters have to be configured for that. Git for Windows configures Git LFS by default, and is therefore vulnerable. The problem has been patched in the versions published on Tuesday, March 9th, 2021. As a workaound, if symbolic link support is disabled in Git (e.g. via `git config --global core.symlinks false`), the described attack won't work. Likewise, if no clean/smudge filters such as Git LFS are configured globally (i.e. _before_ cloning), the attack is foiled. As always, it is best to avoid cloning repositories from untrusted sources. The earliest impacted version is 2.14.2. The fix versions are: 2.30.1, 2.29.3, 2.28.1, 2.27.1, 2.26.3, 2.25.5, 2.24.4, 2.23.4, 2.22.5, 2.21.4, 2.20.5, 2.19.6, 2.18.5, 2.17.62.17.6.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202104-01 (Git: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code)

    It was discovered that Git could be fooled into running remote code       during a clone on case-insensitive file systems with support for symbolic       links, if Git is configured globally to apply delay-capable clean/smudge       filters (such as Git LFS).
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to clone a specially crafted       repository, possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary code       with the privileges of the user running the application.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The version of git installed on the remote host is prior to 2.23.4-1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2021-1621 advisory.
