Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for rh-git227-git.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2023:3280 advisory.

- git: by feeding specially crafted input to `git apply --reject`, a path outside the working tree can be overwritten with partially controlled contents (CVE-2023-25652)

- git: malicious placement of crafted messages when git was compiled with runtime prefix (CVE-2023-25815)

- git: arbitrary configuration injection when renaming or deleting a section from a configuration file (CVE-2023-29007)

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