Git 2.37.4 Release Notes
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
This primarily is to backport various fixes accumulated on the 'master'
|
|
front since 2.37.3, and also includes the same security fixes as in
|
|
v2.30.6.
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v2.37.3
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
* CVE-2022-39253:
|
|
When relying on the `--local` clone optimization, Git dereferences
|
|
symbolic links in the source repository before creating hardlinks
|
|
(or copies) of the dereferenced link in the destination repository.
|
|
This can lead to surprising behavior where arbitrary files are
|
|
present in a repository's `$GIT_DIR` when cloning from a malicious
|
|
repository.
|
|
|
|
Git will no longer dereference symbolic links via the `--local`
|
|
clone mechanism, and will instead refuse to clone repositories that
|
|
have symbolic links present in the `$GIT_DIR/objects` directory.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, the value of `protocol.file.allow` is changed to be
|
|
"user" by default.
|
|
|
|
Credit for finding CVE-2022-39253 goes to Cory Snider of Mirantis.
|
|
The fix was authored by Taylor Blau, with help from Johannes
|
|
Schindelin.
|
|
|
|
* CVE-2022-39260:
|
|
An overly-long command string given to `git shell` can result in
|
|
overflow in `split_cmdline()`, leading to arbitrary heap writes and
|
|
remote code execution when `git shell` is exposed and the directory
|
|
`$HOME/git-shell-commands` exists.
|
|
|
|
`git shell` is taught to refuse interactive commands that are
|
|
longer than 4MiB in size. `split_cmdline()` is hardened to reject
|
|
inputs larger than 2GiB.
|
|
|
|
Credit for finding CVE-2022-39260 goes to Kevin Backhouse of
|
|
GitHub. The fix was authored by Kevin Backhouse, Jeff King, and
|
|
Taylor Blau.
|
|
|
|
* An earlier optimization discarded a tree-object buffer that is
|
|
still in use, which has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* Fix deadlocks between main Git process and subprocess spawned via
|
|
the pipe_command() API, that can kill "git add -p" that was
|
|
reimplemented in C recently.
|
|
|
|
* xcalloc(), imitating calloc(), takes "number of elements of the
|
|
array", and "size of a single element", in this order. A call that
|
|
does not follow this ordering has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* The preload-index codepath made copies of pathspec to give to
|
|
multiple threads, which were left leaked.
|
|
|
|
* Update the version of Ubuntu used for GitHub Actions CI from 18.04
|
|
to 22.04.
|
|
|
|
* The auto-stashed local changes created by "git merge --autostash"
|
|
was mixed into a conflicted state left in the working tree, which
|
|
has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
Also contains other minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.
