Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.13.2018.152.01
Category:Slackware Local Security Checks
Title:Slackware: Security Advisory (SSA:2018-152-01)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'git' package(s) announced via the SSA:2018-152-01 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'git' package(s) announced via the SSA:2018-152-01 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-2.14.4-i586-1_slack14.2.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes security issues:
Submodule 'names' come from the untrusted .gitmodules file, but we
blindly append them to $GIT_DIR/modules to create our on-disk repo
paths. This means you can do bad things by putting '../' into the
name. We now enforce some rules for submodule names which will cause
Git to ignore these malicious names (CVE-2018-11235).
Credit for finding this vulnerability and the proof of concept from
which the test script was adapted goes to Etienne Stalmans.
It was possible to trick the code that sanity-checks paths on NTFS
into reading random piece of memory (CVE-2018-11233).
Credit for fixing for these bugs goes to Jeff King, Johannes
Schindelin and others.
