GLSA-202311-01 : GitPython: Code Execution via Crafted Input

critical Nessus Plugin ID 184131

Language:

Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202311-01 (GitPython: Code Execution via Crafted Input)

 - All versions of package gitpython are vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE) due to improper user input validation, which makes it possible to inject a maliciously crafted remote URL into the clone command.
 Exploiting this vulnerability is possible because the library makes external calls to git without sufficient sanitization of input arguments. (CVE-2022-24439)

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

Solution

All GitPython users should upgrade to the latest version:

 # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose >=dev-python/GitPython-3.1.30
