Fedora 36 : rust-libgit2-sys0.12 (2023-07cf2ae114)

high Nessus Plugin ID 170738

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Fedora 36 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the FEDORA-2023-07cf2ae114 advisory.

 Update bundled libgit2 to version 1.3.2 for the latest security fixes.
 Neither the 0.12 branch libgit2-sys nor the 1.3 branch of libgit2 branch are still supported upstream, so this is the best we can do until packages are ported to newer versions of the libgit2-sys crate.

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

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

Solution

Update the affected rust-libgit2-sys0.12 package.
