Slackware: 2020-112-01 Moderate: Git Credential Management Issue

Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog: patches/packages/git-2.17.5-i586-1_slack14.2.txz: Upgraded. This update fixes a security issue: With a crafted URL that contains a newline or empty host, or lacks a scheme, the credential helper machinery can be fooled into providing credential information that is not appropriate for the protocol in use and host being contacted. Unlike the vulnerability CVE-2020-5260 fixed in v2.17.4, the credentials are not for a host of the attacker's choosing; instead, they are for some unspecified host (based on how the configured credential helper handles an absent "host" parameter).
