Slackware 14.0+: 2023-046-02 Moderate: Git Data Exfiltration Risk

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".
