Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.113205
Category:General
Title:Git 2.13.x, 2.14.x, 2.15.x, 2.16.x, 2.17.x Multiple Vulnerabilities - Windows
Summary:Git is prone to multiple vulnerabilities.
Description:Summary:
Git is prone to multiple vulnerabilities.

Vulnerability Insight:
The following vulnerabilities exist:

- Code to sanity-check pathnames on NTFS can result in reading out-of-bounds memory

- With a crafted .gitmodules file, a malicious project can execute an arbitrary script on a machine that runs
'git clone --recurse-submodules' because submodule 'names' are obtained from this file, and then appended
to $GIT_DIR/modules, leading to directory traversal with '../' in a name.
Finally, post-checkout hooks from a submodule are executed, bypassing the intended design in which hooks
are not obtained from a remote server (Remote Code Execution can occur)

Affected Software/OS:
Git versions through 2.13.6, 2.14.0 through 2.14.3, 2.15.0 through 2.15.1, 2.16.0 through 2.16.3 and 2.17.0.

Solution:
Update to version 2.13.7, 2.14.4, 2.15.2, 2.16.4 or 2.17.1 respectively.

CVSS Score:
