Photon OS 1.0: Git PHSA-2021-1.0-0433

high Nessus Plugin ID 153506

Synopsis

The remote PhotonOS host is missing multiple security updates.

Description

An update of the git package has been released.

- git_connect_git in connect.c in Git before 2.30.1 allows a repository path to contain a newline character, which may result in unexpected cross-protocol requests, as demonstrated by the git://localhost:1234/%0d%0a%0d%0aGET%20/%20HTTP/1.1 substring. (CVE-2021-40330)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected Linux packages.
