Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Jann Horn discovered a directory traversal vulnerability in cgit, a fast web frontend for git repositories written in C. A remote attacker can take advantage of this flaw to retrieve arbitrary files via a specially crafted request, when 'enable-http-clone=1' (default) is not turned off.

Solution

Upgrade the cgit packages.

For the stable distribution (stretch), this problem has been fixed in version 1.1+git2.10.2-3+deb9u1.
