FreeBSD : malicious URLs may present credentials to wrong server (ced2d47e-8469-11ea-a283-b42e99a1b9c3)

high Nessus Plugin ID 137168

Language:

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

git security advisory reports :

Git uses external 'credential helper' programs to store and retrieve passwords or other credentials from secure storage provided by the operating system. Specially crafted URLs that contain an encoded newline can inject unintended values into the credential helper protocol stream, causing the credential helper to retrieve the password for one server for an HTTP request being made to another server, resulting in credentials for the former being sent to the latter.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
