-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [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". For more information, see: https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2023-22490 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2023-23946 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Where to find the new packages: +-----------------------------+ Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab (https://osuosl.org) for donating FTP and rsync hosting to the Slackware project! :-) Also see the "Get Slack" section on https://slackware.com for additional mirror sites near you.
