Google: dev-vcs/git: security update to 18244.85.17

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 451675

Description

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

 - Git is a revision control system. The Git project recommends to avoid working in untrusted repositories,
 and instead to clone it first with `git clone --no-local` to obtain a clean copy. Git has specific
 protections to make that a safe operation even with an untrusted source repository, but vulnerabilities
 allow those protections to be bypassed. In the context of cloning local repositories owned by other users,
 this vulnerability has been covered in CVE-2024-32004. But there are circumstances where the fixes for
 CVE-2024-32004 are not enough: For example, when obtaining a `.zip` file containing a full copy of a Git
 repository, it should not be trusted by default to be safe, as e.g. hooks could be configured to run
 within the context of that repository. The problem has been patched in versions 2.45.1, 2.44.1, 2.43.4,
 2.42.2, 2.41.1, 2.40.2, and 2.39.4. As a workaround, avoid using Git in repositories that have been
 obtained via archives from untrusted sources. (CVE-2024-32465)

Solution

Update the dev-vcs/git library and its related packages to version 18244.85.17 or later.
