- Summary
- Arbitrary configuration injection via `git submodule deinit`
- Details
-
Git is a revision control system. Prior to versions 2.30.9, 2.31.8, 2.32.7, 2.33.8, 2.34.8, 2.35.8, 2.36.6, 2.37.7, 2.38.5, 2.39.3, and 2.40.1, a specially crafted
.gitmodulesfile with submodule URLs that are longer than 1024 characters can used to exploit a bug inconfig.c::git_config_copy_or_rename_section_in_file(). This bug can be used to inject arbitrary configuration into a user's$GIT_DIR/configwhen attempting to remove the configuration section associated with that submodule. When the attacker injects configuration values which specify executables to run (such ascore.pager,core.editor,core.sshCommand, etc.) this can lead to a remote code execution. A fix A fix is available in versions 2.30.9, 2.31.8, 2.32.7, 2.33.8, 2.34.8, 2.35.8, 2.36.6, 2.37.7, 2.38.5, 2.39.3, and 2.40.1. As a workaround, avoid runninggit submodule deiniton untrusted repositories or without prior inspection of any submodule sections in$GIT_DIR/config. - Database specific
