Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Link following
EUVDB-ID: #VU72246
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 0.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2023-22490
CWE-ID:
CWE-59 - Improper Link Resolution Before File Access ('Link Following')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to insecure processing of symbolic links when using local clone optimization. Git will abort local clones whose source `$GIT_DIR/objects` directory
contains symbolic links, however the `objects` directory itself may still be a
symbolic link. A remote attacker can trick the victim into using the local clone optimization to exfiltrate arbitrary files from the victim's system.
Update the affected package git to the latest version.
