The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALINUX3-SA-2025:0122 advisory.

    Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2024-50349:
    Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that     provides both high-level operations and full access to internals. When Git asks for credentials via a     terminal prompt (i.e. without using any credential helper), it prints out the host name for which the user     is expected to provide a username and/or a password. At this stage, any URL-encoded parts have been     decoded already, and are printed verbatim. This allows attackers to craft URLs that contain ANSI escape     sequences that the terminal interpret to confuse users e.g. into providing passwords for trusted Git     hosting sites when in fact they are then sent to untrusted sites that are under the attacker's control.
    This issue has been patch via commits `7725b81` and `c903985` which are included in release versions     v2.48.1, v2.47.2, v2.46.3, v2.45.3, v2.44.3, v2.43.6, v2.42.4, v2.41.3, and v2.40.4. Users are advised to     upgrade. Users unable to upgrade should avoid cloning from untrusted URLs, especially recursive clones.

    CVE-2024-52006:
    Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that     provides both high-level operations and full access to internals. Git defines a line-based protocol that     is used to exchange information between Git and Git credential helpers. Some ecosystems (most notably,     .NET and node.js) interpret single Carriage Return characters as newlines, which renders the protections     against CVE-2020-5260 incomplete for credential helpers that treat Carriage Returns in this way. This     issue has been addressed in commit `b01b9b8` which is included in release versions v2.48.1, v2.47.2,     v2.46.3, v2.45.3, v2.44.3, v2.43.6, v2.42.4, v2.41.3, and v2.40.4. Users are advised to upgrade. Users     unable to upgrade should avoid cloning from untrusted URLs, especially recursive clones.

    CVE-2025-27613:
    Gitk is a Tcl/Tk based Git history browser. Starting with 1.7.0, when a user clones an untrusted     repository and runs gitk without additional command arguments, files for which the user has write     permission can be created and truncated. The option Support per-file encoding must have been enabled     before in Gitk's Preferences. This option is disabled by default. The same happens when Show origin of     this line is used in the main window (regardless of whether Support per-file encoding is enabled or not).
    This vulnerability is fixed in 2.43.7, 2.44.4, 2.45.4, 2.46.4, 2.47.3, 2.48.2, 2.49.1, and 2.50.1.

    CVE-2025-27614:
    Gitk is a Tcl/Tk based Git history browser. Starting with 2.41.0, a Git repository can be crafted in such     a way that with some social engineering a user who has cloned the repository can be tricked into running     any script (e.g., Bourne shell, Perl, Python, ...) supplied by the attacker by invoking gitk filename,     where filename has a particular structure. The script is run with the privileges of the user. This     vulnerability is fixed in 2.43.7, 2.44.4, 2.45.4, 2.46.4, 2.47.3, 2.48.2, 2.49.1, and 2.50.

    CVE-2025-46835:
    Git GUI allows you to use the Git source control management tools via a GUI. When a user clones an     untrusted repository and is tricked into editing a file located in a maliciously named directory in the     repository, then Git GUI can create and overwrite files for which the user has write permission. This     vulnerability is fixed in 2.43.7, 2.44.4, 2.45.4, 2.46.4, 2.47.3, 2.48.2, 2.49.1, and 2.50.1.

    CVE-2025-48384:
    Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that     provides both high-level operations and full access to internals. When reading a config value, Git strips     any trailing carriage return and line feed (CRLF). When writing a config entry, values with a trailing CR     are not quoted, causing the CR to be lost when the config is later read. When initializing a submodule, if     the submodule path contains a trailing CR, the altered path is read resulting in the submodule being     checked out to an incorrect location. If a symlink exists that points the altered path to the submodule     hooks directory, and the submodule contains an executable post-checkout hook, the script may be     unintentionally executed after checkout. This vulnerability is fixed in v2.43.7, v2.44.4, v2.45.4,     v2.46.4, v2.47.3, v2.48.2, v2.49.1, and v2.50.1.

    CVE-2025-48385:
    Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that     provides both high-level operations and full access to internals. When cloning a repository Git knows to     optionally fetch a bundle advertised by the remote server, which allows the server-side to offload parts     of the clone to a CDN. The Git client does not perform sufficient validation of the advertised bundles,     which allows the remote side to perform protocol injection. This protocol injection can cause the client     to write the fetched bundle to a location controlled by the adversary. The fetched content is fully     controlled by the server, which can in the worst case lead to arbitrary code execution. The use of bundle     URIs is not enabled by default and can be controlled by the bundle.heuristic config option. Some cases of     the vulnerability require that the adversary is in control of where a repository will be cloned to. This     either requires social engineering or a recursive clone with submodules. These cases can thus be avoided     by disabling recursive clones. This vulnerability is fixed in v2.43.7, v2.44.4, v2.45.4, v2.46.4, v2.47.3,     v2.48.2, v2.49.1, and v2.50.1.
