libgit2 is a portable C implementation of the Git core methods provided as a linkable library with a solid API, allowing to build Git functionality into your application. Using well-crafted inputs to `git_revparse_single` can cause the function to enter an infinite loop, potentially causing a Denial of Service attack in the calling application. The revparse function in `src/libgit2/revparse.c` uses a loop to parse the user-provided spec string. There is an edge-case during parsing that allows a bad actor to force the loop conditions to access arbitrary memory. Potentially, this could also leak memory if the extracted rev spec is reflected back to the attacker. As such, libgit2 versions before 1.4.0 are not affected. Users should upgrade to version 1.6.5 or 1.7.2.

The remote Fedora 41 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2024-401f10a92f advisory.

    - Update the git2 crate to version 0.18.2.
    - Update the libgit2-sys crate to version 0.16.2.

    Version 0.16.2 of the libgit2-sys crate includes an update of the bundled copy of libgit2 to version 1.7.2     to address CVE-2024-24575 and CVE-2024-24577.

    Since the libgit2 bindings cause applications that use them to statically link libgit2, this update also     includes rebuilds of all affected applications.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

    Update to 1.7.2:

    Security fixes:

    - CVE-2024-24577: Fixed arbitrary code execution due to heap corruption in git_index_add (bsc#1219660)
    - CVE-2024-24575: Fixed potential infinite loop condition in git_revparse_single() (bsc#1219664)

    Other fixes:
    - A bug in the smart transport negotiation could have caused an out-of-bounds read when a remote server     did not advertise capabilities.

Using well-crafted inputs to     `git_index_add` can cause heap corruption that could be leveraged for arbitrary code execution.
