Category:	Slackware Local Security Checks
Title:	Slackware: Security Advisory (SSA:2017-223-01)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'git' package(s) announced via the SSA:2017-223-01 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'git' package(s) announced via the SSA:2017-223-01 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: New git packages are available for Slackware 13.0, 13.1, 13.37, 14.0, 14.1, 14.2, and -current to fix security issues. Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/git-2.14.1-i586-1_slack14.2.txz: Upgraded. Fixes security issues: A 'ssh://...' URL can result in a 'ssh' command line with a hostname that begins with a dash '-', which would cause the 'ssh' command to instead (mis)treat it as an option. This is now prevented by forbidding such a hostname (which should not impact any real-world usage). Similarly, when GIT_PROXY_COMMAND is configured, the command is run with host and port that are parsed out from 'ssh://...' URL, a poorly written GIT_PROXY_COMMAND could be tricked into treating a string that begins with a dash '-' as an option. This is now prevented by forbidding such a hostname and port number (again, which should not impact any real-world usage). For more information, see: [link moved to references] (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Affected Software/OS: 'git' package(s) on Slackware 13.0, Slackware 13.1, Slackware 13.37, Slackware 14.0, Slackware 14.1, Slackware 14.2, Slackware current. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 6.8 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
