Fedora 25: git Security Update 2017-f4319b6dfc
Summary
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.
The git rpm installs common set of tools which are usually using with
small amount of dependencies. To install all git packages, including
tools for integrating with other SCMs, install the git-all meta-package.
An issue in `git-shell` could allow remote users to run an interactive pager.
From the [update announcement](https://public-inbox.org/git/xmqq8tm5ziat.fsf@gitster.mtv.corp.google.com/): ... fix a
recently disclosed problem with "git shell", which may allow a user who
comes over SSH to run an interactive pager by causing it to spawn "git
upload-pack --help" (CVE-2017-8386). The announcement also notes: If
you are not running a server, or if your server has not been explicitly
configured to use git-shell as a login shell, you are not affected.
Also note that sites running "git shell" behind gitolite are NOT vulnerable.
Further details can be found in the commit message which fixed the issue
([3ec804490](https://github.com/git/git/commit/3ec804490)).
su -c 'dnf upgrade git' at the command line.
