openSUSE 15 Security Update : git-lfs (openSUSE-SU-2025:0153-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 235779

Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote openSUSE 15 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the openSUSE- SU-2025:0153-1 advisory.

 Update to 3.6.1: (boo#1235876):

 This release introduces a security fix for all platforms, which has been assigned CVE-2024-53263.

 When requesting credentials from Git for a remote host, prior versions of Git LFS passed portions of the host's URL to the git-credential(1) command without checking for embedded line-ending control characters, and then sent any credentials received back from the Git credential helper to the remote host.
 By inserting URL-encoded control characters such as line feed (LF) or carriage return (CR) characters into the URL, an attacker might have been able to retrieve a user's Git credentials.
 Git LFS now prevents bare line feed (LF) characters from being included in the values sent to the git-credential(1) command, and also prevents bare carriage return (CR) characters from being included unless the credential.protectProtocol configuration option is set to a value equivalent to false.
