Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'git'
package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system.

It was discovered that Git's git-imap-send command, a tool to send a
collection of patches from standard input (stdin) to an IMAP folder, did
not properly perform SSL X.509 v3 certificate validation on the IMAP
server`s certificate, as it did not ensure that the server`s hostname
matched the one provided in the CN field of the server's certificate. A
rogue server could use this flaw to conduct man-in-the-middle attacks,
possibly leading to the disclosure of sensitive information.
(CVE-2013-0308)

All git users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a
backported patch to correct this issue.

Affected Software/OS:
git on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 6),
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 6)

Solution:
Please Install the Updated Packages.
