Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.882761
Category:CentOS Local Security Checks
Title:CentOS Update for emacs-git CESA-2017:2485 centos6
Summary:Check the version of emacs-git
Description:Summary:
Check the version of emacs-git

Vulnerability Insight:
Git is a distributed revision control
system with a decentralized architecture. As opposed to centralized version
control systems with a client-server model, Git ensures that each working
copy of a Git repository is an exact copy with complete revision history.
This not only allows the user to work on and contribute to projects without
the need to have permission to push the changes to their official repositories,
but also makes it possible for the user to work with no network connection.

Security Fix(es):

* A shell command injection flaw related to the handling of 'ssh' URLs has
been discovered in Git. An attacker could use this flaw to execute shell
commands with the privileges of the user running the Git client, for
example, when performing a 'clone' action on a malicious repository or a
legitimate repository containing a malicious commit. (CVE-2017-1000117)

Affected Software/OS:
emacs-git on CentOS 6

Solution:
Please Install the Updated Packages.

CVSS Score:
6.8
