Slackware 15.0: 2024-136-02 Critical: Git Local Clone Code Execution

Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog: patches/packages/git-2.39.4-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded. This update fixes security issues: Recursive clones on case-insensitive filesystems that support symbolic links are susceptible to case confusion that can be exploited to execute just-cloned code during the clone operation. Repositories can be configured to execute arbitrary code during local clones. To address this, the ownership checks introduced in v2.30.3 are now extended to cover cloning local repositories. Local clones may end up hardlinking files into the target repository's object database when source and target repository reside on the same disk. If the source repository is owned by a different user, then those hardlinked files may be rewritten at any point in time by the untrusted user. When cloning a local source repository that contains symlinks via the filesystem, Git may create hardlinks to arbitrary user-readable files on
