[slackware-security]  git (SSA:2022-291-01)

New git packages are available for Slackware 14.0, 14.1, 14.2, 15.0,
and -current to fix security issues.


Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/git-2.35.5-i586-1_slack15.0.txz:  Upgraded.
  This release fixes two security issues:
  * CVE-2022-39253:
  When relying on the `--local` clone optimization, Git dereferences
  symbolic links in the source repository before creating hardlinks
  (or copies) of the dereferenced link in the destination repository.
  This can lead to surprising behavior where arbitrary files are
  present in a repository's `$GIT_DIR` when cloning from a malicious
  repository.
  Git will no longer dereference symbolic links via the `--local`
  clone mechanism, and will instead refuse to clone repositories that
  have symbolic links present in the `$GIT_DIR/objects` directory.
  Additionally, the value of `protocol.file.allow` is changed to be
  "user" by default.
  * CVE-2022-39260:
  An overly-long command string given to `git shell` can result in
  overflow in `split_cmdline()`, leading to arbitrary heap writes and
  remote code execution when `git shell` is exposed and the directory
  `$HOME/git-shell-commands` exists.
  `git shell` is taught to refuse interactive commands that are
  longer than 4MiB in size. `split_cmdline()` is hardened to reject
  inputs larger than 2GiB.
