SUSE SLES15 Security Update : git (SUSE-SU-2025:03037-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 260435

Language:

Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2025:03037-1 advisory.

 Updated to 2.43.7 (jsc#PED-13447):

 - CVE-2025-27613: Fixed arbitrary writable file creation and truncation in Gitk (bsc#1245938)
 - CVE-2025-27614: Fixed arbitrary script execution via repo clonation in Gitk (bsc#1245939)
 - CVE-2025-46835: Fixed arbitrary writable file creation via untrusted repository clonation in Git GUI (bsc#1245942)
 - CVE-2025-48384: Fixed arbitrary writable file creation when cloning untrusted repositories with submodules using the --recursive flag (bsc#1245943)
 - CVE-2025-48385: Fixed arbitrary code execution due to protocol injection via fetching advertised bundle (bsc#1245946)

 Other fixes:

 - Drop git-credential-gnome-keyring package as it was dropped upstream, use git-credential-libsecret instead
 - git-add--interactive was removed upstream in favor of built in implementation, which was already the default in SLE.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
