Google: dev-vcs/git: security update to 17800.519.1

low Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 452168

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 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)
