Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.10.2020.0181
Category:Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2020-0181)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'git' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2020-0181 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'git' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2020-0181 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Updated git packages fix security vulnerability:

Malicious URLs can still cause Git to send a stored credential to
the wrong server (CvE-2020-111008).

With a crafted URL that contains a newline or empty host, or lacks a
scheme, the credential helper machinery can be fooled into providing
credential information that is not appropriate for the protocol in
use and host being contacted.

Unlike the vulnerability CVE-2020-5260 fixed in v2.17.4, the
credentials are not for a host of the attacker's choosing, instead,
they are for some unspecified host (based on how the configured
credential helper handles an absent 'host' parameter).

The attack has been made impossible by refusing to work with
under-specified credential patterns.

Affected Software/OS:
'git' package(s) on Mageia 7.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
