Google: dev-vcs/git: security update to 18244.448.20

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 451122

Description

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

 - 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 cloning a repository Git knows to
 optionally fetch a bundle advertised by the remote server, which allows the server-side to offload parts
 of the clone to a CDN. The Git client does not perform sufficient validation of the advertised bundles,
 which allows the remote side to perform protocol injection. This protocol injection can cause the client
 to write the fetched bundle to a location controlled by the adversary. The fetched content is fully
 controlled by the server, which can in the worst case lead to arbitrary code execution. The use of bundle
 URIs is not enabled by default and can be controlled by the bundle.heuristic config option. Some cases of
 the vulnerability require that the adversary is in control of where a repository will be cloned to. This
 either requires social engineering or a recursive clone with submodules. These cases can thus be avoided
 by disabling recursive clones. This vulnerability is fixed in v2.43.7, v2.44.4, v2.45.4, v2.46.4, v2.47.3,
 v2.48.2, v2.49.1, and v2.50.1. (CVE-2025-48385)

Solution

Update the dev-vcs/git library and its related packages to version 18244.448.20 or later.
