5) UNIX Hard Link

EUVDB-ID: #VU91286

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 6.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2024-32020

CWE-ID: CWE-62 - UNIX Hard Link

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the original repository.

The vulnerability exists due to insecure hardlink following when working with local clones. Local clones may end up hardlinking files into the target repository's object database when source and target repository reside on the same disk. If the source repository is owned by a different user, then those hardlinked files may be rewritten at any point in time by the untrusted user.

Mitigation

Update the affected package git to the latest version.
