    Package        : git     Version        : 1:2.20.1-2+deb10u4     CVE ID         : CVE-2021-21300 CVE-2021-40330     Debian Bug     : 985120

    Several security vulnerabilities have been discovered in Git, a fast, scalable,     distributed revision control system, which may affect multi-user systems.

    CVE-2021-21300

        A specially crafted repository that contains symbolic links as well as         files using a clean/smudge filter such as Git LFS, may cause just-checked         out script to be executed while cloning onto a case-insensitive file system         such as NTFS, HFS+ or APFS (i.e. the default file systems on Windows and         macOS).

    CVE-2021-40330

        git_connect_git in connect.c allows a repository path to contain a newline         character, which may result in unexpected cross-protocol requests, as         demonstrated by the git://localhost:1234/%0d%0a%0d%0aGET%20/%20HTTP/1.1         substring.


    For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version     1:2.20.1-2+deb10u4.

    We recommend that you upgrade your git packages.
