Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'git' package(s) announced via the USN-3671-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Etienne Stalmans discovered that git did not properly validate git
submodules files. A remote attacker could possibly use this to craft a

--recurse-submodules' is used. (CVE-2018-11235)

consistency checking code when used on NTFS filesystems. An attacker could
use this to cause a denial of service or expose sensitive information.
