Debian 10 DLA-3145-1 Critical: Git Remote Code Execution Threat

A specially crafted repository that contains symbolic links as well as
files using a clean/smudge filter such as Git LFS, may cause just-checked
out script to be executed while cloning onto a case-insensitive file system
such as NTFS, HFS+ or APFS (i.e. the default file systems on Windows and
macOS).

CVE-2021-40330

git_connect_git in connect.c allows a repository path to contain a newline
character, which may result in unexpected cross-protocol requests, as
demonstrated by the git://localhost:1234/%0d%0a%0d%0aGET%20/%20HTTP/1.1
substring.


For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version
1:2.20.1-2+deb10u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your git packages.
