Update to 3.6.1: (boo#1235876):
This release introduces a security fix for all platforms, which has been
assigned CVE-2024-53263.
When requesting credentials from Git for a remote host, prior versions
of Git LFS passed portions of the host's URL to the git-credential(1)

might have been able to retrieve a user's Git credentials. Git LFS now
prevents bare line feed (LF) characters from being included in the values
sent to the git-credential(1) command, and also prevents bare carriage
return (CR) characters from being included unless the
credential.protectProtocol configuration
option is set...
