Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.13.2018.283.01
Category:Slackware Local Security Checks
Title:Slackware: Security Advisory (SSA:2018-283-01)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'git' package(s) announced via the SSA:2018-283-01 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'git' package(s) announced via the SSA:2018-283-01 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
New git packages are available for Slackware 14.0, 14.1, 14.2, and -current to
fix a security issue.


Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/git-2.14.5-i586-1_slack14.2.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes a security issue:
Submodules' 'URL's come from the untrusted .gitmodules file, but we
blindly gave it to 'git clone' to clone submodules when 'git clone
--recurse-submodules' was used to clone a project that has such a
submodule. The code has been hardened to reject such malformed URLs
(e.g. one that begins with a dash). Credit for finding and fixing this
vulnerability goes to joernchen and Jeff King, respectively.

Affected Software/OS:
'git' package(s) on Slackware 14.0, Slackware 14.1, Slackware 14.2, Slackware current.

Please install the updated package(s).
