Google: dev-vcs/git: security update to 18244.1.61

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 450495

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- Git is a revision control system. Prior to versions 2.30.9, 2.31.8, 2.32.7, 2.33.8, 2.34.8, 2.35.8,
2.36.6, 2.37.7, 2.38.5, 2.39.3, and 2.40.1, by feeding specially crafted input to `git apply --reject`, a
path outside the working tree can be overwritten with partially controlled contents (corresponding to the
rejected hunk(s) from the given patch). A fix is available in versions 2.30.9, 2.31.8, 2.32.7, 2.33.8,
2.34.8, 2.35.8, 2.36.6, 2.37.7, 2.38.5, 2.39.3, and 2.40.1. As a workaround, avoid using `git apply` with
`--reject` when applying patches from an untrusted source. Use `git apply --stat` to inspect a patch
before applying; avoid applying one that create a conflict where a link corresponding to the `*.rej` file
exists. (CVE-2023-25652)

Update the dev-vcs/git library and its related packages to version 18244.1.61 or later.
