[slackware-security]  git (SSA:2023-046-02)

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-2.35.7-i586-1_slack15.0.txz:  Upgraded.
  This update fixes security issues:
  Using a specially-crafted repository, Git can be tricked into using
  its local clone optimization even when using a non-local transport.
  Though Git will abort local clones whose source $GIT_DIR/objects
  directory contains symbolic links (c.f., CVE-2022-39253), the objects
  directory itself may still be a symbolic link.
  These two may be combined to include arbitrary files based on known
  paths on the victim's filesystem within the malicious repository's
  working copy, allowing for data exfiltration in a similar manner as
  CVE-2022-39253.
  By feeding a crafted input to "git apply", a path outside the
  working tree can be overwritten as the user who is running "git
  apply".
