openSUSE Security Update : libgit2 (openSUSE-2015-288)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 82634

Language:

Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

libgit2 was updated to fix an arbitrary command execution vulnerability on case-insentitive file systems.

The following vulnerability was fixed :

 - When using programs using libgit2 on case-insensitive filesystems, .git/config could be overwritten, which allowed execution of arbitrary commands (boo#925040, CVE-2014-9390).

The configuration is uncommon as all default file systems on openSUSE are case sensitive.

Additionally, on openSUSE 13.2 libgit2 was updated to version 0.21.5 to backport further critical fixes.

Solution

Update the affected libgit2 packages.
