| |
| The change to disallow `submodule.<name>.update=!command` entries in |
| `.gitmodules` which was introduced v2.15.4 (and for which v2.17.3 |
| added explicit fsck checks) fixes the vulnerability in v2.20.x where a |
| recursive clone followed by a submodule update could execute code |
| contained within the repository without the user explicitly having |
| asked for that (CVE-2019-19604). |
| |
| Credit for finding this vulnerability goes to Joern Schneeweisz, |
| credit for the fixes goes to Jonathan Nieder. |
