|  | Git v2.14.5 Release Notes | 
|  | ========================= | 
|  |  | 
|  | This release is to address the recently reported CVE-2018-17456. | 
|  |  | 
|  | Fixes since v2.14.4 | 
|  | ------------------- | 
|  |  | 
|  | * Submodules' "URL"s come from the untrusted .gitmodules file, but | 
|  | we blindly gave it to "git clone" to clone submodules when "git | 
|  | clone --recurse-submodules" was used to clone a project that has | 
|  | such a submodule.  The code has been hardened to reject such | 
|  | malformed URLs (e.g. one that begins with a dash). | 
|  |  | 
|  | Credit for finding and fixing this vulnerability goes to joernchen | 
|  | and Jeff King, respectively. |
