Debian DLA-2059-1 : git security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 133218

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in git, a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system.

CVE-2019-1348

It was reported that the --export-marks option of git fast-import is exposed also via the in-stream command feature export-marks=..., allowing to overwrite arbitrary paths.

CVE-2019-1387

It was discovered that submodule names are not validated strictly enough, allowing very targeted attacks via remote code execution when performing recursive clones.

In addition this update addresses a number of security issues which are only an issue if git is operating on an NTFS filesystem (CVE-2019-1349, CVE-2019-1352 and CVE-2019-1353).

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 1:2.1.4-2.1+deb8u8.

We recommend that you upgrade your git packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
