Information about package

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.

Vulnerabilities description

  • CVE-2024-52005

    A flaw was found in Git. When cloning, fetching, or pushing from a server, informational or error messages are transported from the remote Git process to the client via a sideband channel. These messages are prefixed with "remote:" and printed directly to the standard error output. Typically, this standard error output is connected to a terminal that understands ANSI escape sequences, which Git did not protect against. Most modern terminals support control sequences that can be used by a malicious actor to hide and misrepresent information or to mislead the user into executing untrusted scripts.
