Fedora 28: 2018-75f7624a9f Critical: Git Code Execution Risk

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.

Upstream security fixes related to .gitmodules handling. From the [upstream

announcement](): ``` * Submodule "names" come from the untrusted

.gitmodules file, but we blindly append them to $GIT_DIR/modules to create our

on-disk repo paths. This means you can do bad things by putting "../" into the

name. We now enforce some rules for submodule names which will cause Git to

ignore these malicious names (CVE-2018-11235). Credit for finding this

vulnerability and the proof of concept from which the test script was adapted

goes to Etienne Stalmans. * It was possible to trick the code that sanity-checks paths on NTFS into reading random piece of memory (CVE-2018-11233). ```

A preliminary patch to resolve an issue with zlib on aarch64 is also included

(RHBZ#1582555).
