Advisory Published
Updated git packages fix security vulnerability:
Malicious URLs can still cause Git to send a stored credential to
the wrong server (CvE-2020-111008).
With a crafted URL that contains a newline or empty host, or lacks a
scheme, the credential helper machinery can be fooled into providing
credential information that is not appropriate for the protocol in
use and host being contacted.
Unlike the vulnerability CVE-2020-5260 fixed in v2.17.4, the
credentials are not for a host of the attacker's choosing; instead,
they are for some unspecified host (based on how the configured
credential helper handles an absent "host" parameter).
The attack has been made impossible by refusing to work with
under-specified credential patterns.
