Name : git Product : Fedora 36 Version : 2.38.1 Release : 1.fc36 URL : https://git-scm.com/ Summary : Fast Version Control System Description : Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information:
Upstream update including security & bug fixes as well as feature enhancements. From the upstream [release notes](https://github.com/git/git/raw/v2.38.1/Documen tation/RelNotes/2.30.6.txt): CVE-2022-39253 -------------- When relying on the `--local` clone optimization, Git dereferences symbolic links in the source repository before creating hardlinks (or copies) of the dereferenced link in the destination repository. This can lead to surprising behavior where arbitrary files are present in a repository's `$GIT_DIR` when cloning from a malicious repository. Git will no longer dereference symbolic links via the `--local` clone mechanism, and will instead refuse to clone repositories that have symbolic links present in the `$GIT_DIR/objects` directory. Additionally, the value of `protocol.file.allow` is changed to be "user" by default. CVE-2022-39260 -------------- An overly-long command string given to `git shell` can result in overflow in `split_cmdline()`, leading to arbitrary heap writes and remote code execution when `git shell` is exposed and the directory `$HOME/git-shell-commands` exists. `git shell` is taught to refuse interactive commands that are longer than 4MiB in size. `split_cmdline()` is hardened to reject inputs larger than 2GiB.
