| Git v2.13.7 Release Notes |
| ========================= |
| |
| Fixes since v2.13.6 |
| ------------------- |
| |
| * Submodule "names" come from the untrusted .gitmodules file, but we |
| blindly append them to $GIT_DIR/modules to create our on-disk repo |
| paths. This means you can do bad things by putting "../" into the |
| name. We now enforce some rules for submodule names which will cause |
| Git to ignore these malicious names (CVE-2018-11235). |
| |
| Credit for finding this vulnerability and the proof of concept from |
| which the test script was adapted goes to Etienne Stalmans. |
| |
| * It was possible to trick the code that sanity-checks paths on NTFS |
| into reading random piece of memory (CVE-2018-11233). |
| |
| Credit for fixing for these bugs goes to Jeff King, Johannes |
| Schindelin and others. |
