Git v2.17.5 Release Notes
|
|||
=========================
|
|||
|
|||
This release is to address a security issue: CVE-2020-11008
|
|||
|
|||
Fixes since v2.17.4
|
|||
-------------------
|
|||
|
|||
* With a crafted URL that contains a newline or empty host, or lacks
|
|||
a scheme, the credential helper machinery can be fooled into
|
|||
providing credential information that is not appropriate for the
|
|||
protocol in use and host being contacted.
|
|||
|
|||
Unlike the vulnerability CVE-2020-5260 fixed in v2.17.4, the
|
|||
credentials are not for a host of the attacker's choosing; instead,
|
|||
they are for some unspecified host (based on how the configured
|
|||
credential helper handles an absent "host" parameter).
|
|||
|
|||
The attack has been made impossible by refusing to work with
|
|||
under-specified credential patterns.
|
|||
|
|||
Credit for finding the vulnerability goes to Carlo Arenas.
