CVE-2018-11235

In Git before 2.13.7, 2.14.x before 2.14.4, 2.15.x before 2.15.2, 2.16.x before 2.16.4, and 2.17.x before 2.17.1, remote code execution can occur. With a crafted .gitmodules file, a malicious project can execute an arbitrary script on a machine that runs "git clone --recurse-submodules" because submodule "names" are obtained from this file, and then appended to $GIT_DIR/modules, leading to directory traversal with "../" in a name. Finally, post-checkout hooks from a submodule are executed, bypassing the intended design in which hooks are not obtained from a remote server.

Finally, post-checkout hooks from a submodule are executed, bypassing the intended design in which hooks are not obtained from a remote server.

It was possible to trick the code that sanity-checks paths on NTFS into reading random piece of memory (CVE-2018-11233).

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).

This update for git fixes the following issues:

Security issues fixed:

• CVE-2020-11008: Specially crafted URLs may have tricked the credentials helper to providing credential information that is not appropriate for the protocol in use and host being contacted (bsc#1169936)

git was updated to 2.26.1 (bsc#1169786, jsc#ECO-1628, bsc#1149792)

• Fix git-daemon not starting after conversion from sysvinit to systemd service (bsc#1169605).

• CVE-2020-5260: Specially crafted URLs with newline characters could have been used to make the Git client to send credential information for a wrong host to the attacker's site bsc#1168930

git 2.26.0 (bsc#1167890, jsc#SLE-11608):

• 'git rebase' now uses a different backend that is based on the 'merge' machinery by default. The 'rebase.backend' configuration variable reverts to old behaviour when set to 'apply'
• Improved handling of sparse checkouts
• Improvements to many commands and internal features

git 2.25.2:

• bug fixes to various subcommands in specific operations

git 2.25.1:

• 'git commit' now honors advise.statusHints
• various updates, bug fixes and documentation updates

git 2.25.0

• The branch description ('git branch --edit-description') has been used to fill the body of the cover letters by the format-patch command; this has been enhanced so that the subject can also be filled.
• A few commands learned to take the pathspec from the standard input or a named file, instead of taking it as the command line arguments, with the '--pathspec-from-file' option.
• Test updates to prepare for SHA-2 transition continues.
• Redo 'git name-rev' to avoid recursive calls.
• When all files from some subdirectory were renamed to the root directory, the directory rename heuristics would fail to detect that as a rename/merge of the subdirectory to the root directory, which has been corrected.
• HTTP transport had possible allocator/deallocator mismatch, which has been corrected.

git 2.24.1:

• CVE-2019-1348: The --export-marks option of fast-import is exposed also via the in-stream command feature export-marks=... and it allows overwriting arbitrary paths (bsc#1158785)
• CVE-2019-1349: on Windows, when submodules are cloned recursively, under certain circumstances Git could be fooled into using the same Git directory twice (bsc#1158787)
• CVE-2019-1350: Incorrect quoting of command-line arguments allowed remote code execution during a recursive clone in conjunction with SSH URLs (bsc#1158788)
• CVE-2019-1351: on Windows mistakes drive letters outside of the US-English alphabet as relative paths (bsc#1158789)
• CVE-2019-1352: on Windows was unaware of NTFS Alternate Data Streams (bsc#1158790)
• CVE-2019-1353: when run in the Windows Subsystem for Linux while accessing a working directory on a regular Windows drive, none of the NTFS protections were active (bsc#1158791)
• CVE-2019-1354: on Windows refuses to write tracked files with filenames that contain backslashes (bsc#1158792)
• CVE-2019-1387: Recursive clones vulnerability that is caused by too-lax validation of submodule names, allowing very targeted attacks via remote code execution in recursive clones (bsc#1158793)
• CVE-2019-19604: a recursive clone followed by a submodule update could execute code contained within the repository without the user explicitly having asked for that (bsc#1158795)

git 2.24.0

• The command line parser learned '--end-of-options' notation.
• A mechanism to affect the default setting for a (related) group of configuration variables is introduced.
• 'git fetch' learned '--set-upstream' option to help those who first clone from their private fork they intend to push to, add the true upstream via 'git remote add' and then 'git fetch' from it.
• fixes and improvements to UI, workflow and features, bash completion fixes

git 2.23.0:

• The '--base' option of 'format-patch' computed the patch-ids for prerequisite patches in an unstable…

The following security vulnerabilities were addressed:

• CVE-2018-10887: Fixed an integer overflow which in turn leads to an out of bound read, allowing to read the base object, which could be exploited by an attacker to cause denial of service (DoS) (bsc#1100613).
• CVE-2018-10888: Fixed an out-of-bound read while reading a binary delta file, which could be exploited by an attacker t ocause a denial of service (DoS) (bsc#1100612).
• CVE-2018-11235: Fixed a remote code execution, which could occur with a crafted .gitmodules file (bsc#1095219)

This update for libgit2 fixes the following issues:

• CVE-2018-8099: Fixed possible denial of service attack via different vectors by not being able to differentiate between these status codes (bsc#1085256).

Finally, post-checkout hooks from a submodule are executed, bypassing the intended design in which hooks are not obtained from a remote server. (bsc#1095219)
• CVE-2018-10887: It has been discovered that an unexpected sign extension in git_delta_apply function in delta.c file may have lead to an integer overflow which in turn leads to an out of bound read, allowing to read before the base object. An attacker could have used this flaw to leak memory addresses or cause a Denial of Service. (bsc#1100613)
• CVE-2018-10888: A missing check in git_delta_apply function in delta.c file, may lead to an out-of-bound read while reading a binary delta file. An attacker may use this flaw to cause a Denial of Service. (bsc#1100612)
• CVE-2018-15501: A remote attacker can send a crafted smart-protocol 'ng' packet that lacks a '\0' byte to trigger an out-of-bounds read that leads to DoS. (bsc#1104641)

Etienne Stalmans discovered that git did not properly validate git submodules files. A remote attacker could possibly use this to craft a git repo that causes arbitrary code execution when "git clone --recurse-submodules" is used. (CVE-2018-11235)

It was discovered that an integer overflow existed in git's pathname consistency checking code when used on NTFS filesystems. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or expose sensitive information. (CVE-2018-11233)
