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. Git defines a line-based protocol that is used to exchange information between Git and Git credential helpers. Some ecosystems (most notably, .NET and node.js) interpret single Carriage Return characters as newlines, which renders the protections against CVE-2020-5260 incomplete for credential helpers that treat Carriage Returns in this way. This issue has been addressed in commit `b01b9b8` which is included in release versions v2.48.1, v2.47.2, v2.46.3, v2.45.3, v2.44.3, v2.43.6, v2.42.4, v2.41.3, and v2.40.4. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade should avoid cloning from untrusted URLs, especially recursive clones.

    Package        : git     Version        : 1:2.30.2-1+deb11u4     CVE ID         : CVE-2024-50349 CVE-2024-52006     Debian Bug     : 1093042

    Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in git, a fast, scalable and     distributed revision control system.

    CVE-2024-50349

        When Git asks for credentials via a terminal prompt (i.e. without         using any credential helper), it prints out the host name for which         the user is expected to provide a username and/or a password.  At         this stage, any URL-encoded parts have been decoded already, and are         printed verbatim.  This could allow attackers to craft URLs that         contain ANSI escape sequences that the terminal interpret to confuse         users e.g. into providing passwords for trusted Git hosting sites         when in fact they are then sent to untrusted sites that are under         the attacker's control.

    CVE-2024-52006

        Git defines a line-based protocol that is used to exchange         information between Git and Git credential helpers.  Some ecosystems         (most notably, .NET and node.js) interpret single Carriage Return         characters as newlines, which renders the protections against         CVE-2020-5260 incomplete for credential helpers that treat Carriage         Returns in this way.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version     1:2.30.2-1+deb11u4.

    We recommend that you upgrade your git packages.
