Debian 11: DSA-5332-1 Critical: Git Remote Code Execution Threats

Essential patch for Git released to tackle numerous security flaws, encompassing remote command execution and data exposure issues in Debian.
Multiple issues were found in Git, a distributed revision control system

Summary

This update includes two changes of behavior that may affect certain setup:
- It stops when directory traversal changes ownership from the current
user while looking for a top-level git directory, a user could make an
exception by using the new safe.directory configuration.
- The default of protocol.file.allow has been changed from "always" to
"user".

For the stable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed in
version 1:2.30.2-1+deb11u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your git packages.
