Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-33762

low Nessus Plugin ID 304721

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

- go-git is an extensible git implementation library written in pure Go. Prior to version 5.17.1, go-git's index decoder for format version 4 fails to validate the path name prefix length before applying it to the previously decoded path name. A maliciously crafted index file can trigger an out-of-bounds slice operation, resulting in a runtime panic during normal index parsing. This issue only affects Git index format version 4. Earlier formats (go-git supports only v2 and v3) are not vulnerable to this issue. This issue has been patched in version 5.17.1. (CVE-2026-33762)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
