Git is a source code management tool. When cloning from a server (or fetching, or pushing), informational or error messages are transported from the remote Git process to the client via the so-called "sideband channel". These messages will be prefixed with "remote:" and printed directly to the standard error output. Typically, this standard error output is connected to a terminal that understands ANSI escape sequences, which Git did not protect against. Most modern terminals support control sequences that can be used by a malicious actor to hide and misrepresent information, or to mislead the user into executing untrusted scripts. As requested on the git-security mailing list, the patches are under discussion on the public mailing list. Users are advised to update as soon as possible. Users unable to upgrade should avoid recursive clones unless they are from trusted sources.

According to the versions of the git packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

Users unable to upgrade should avoid     recursive clones unless they are from trusted sources.(CVE-2024-52005)

    Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that     provides both high-level operations and full access to internals. Git defines a line-based protocol that     is used to exchange information between Git and Git credential helpers. Some ecosystems (most notably,     .NET and node.js) interpret single Carriage Return characters as newlines, which renders the protections     against CVE-2020-5260 incomplete for credential helpers that treat Carriage Returns in this way. This     issue has been addressed in commit `b01b9b8` which is included in release versions v2.48.1, v2.47.2,     v2.46.3, v2.45.3, v2.44.3, v2.43.6, v2.42.4, v2.41.3, and v2.40.4. Users are advised to upgrade. Users     unable to upgrade should avoid cloning from untrusted URLs, especially recursive clones.(CVE-2024-52006)

    Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that     provides both high-level operations and full access to internals. When Git asks for credentials via a     terminal prompt (i.e. without using any credential helper), it prints out the host name for which the user     is expected to provide a username and/or a password. At this stage, any URL-encoded parts have been     decoded already, and are printed verbatim. This allows attackers to craft URLs that contain ANSI escape     sequences that the terminal interpret to confuse users e.g. into providing passwords for trusted Git     hosting sites when in fact they are then sent to untrusted sites that are under the attacker's control.
    This issue has been patch via commits `7725b81` and `c903985` which are included in release versions     v2.48.1, v2.47.2, v2.46.3, v2.45.3, v2.44.3, v2.43.6, v2.42.4, v2.41.3, and v2.40.4. Users are advised to     upgrade. Users unable to upgrade should avoid cloning from untrusted URLs, especially recursive     clones.(CVE-2024-50349)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS git security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.
