Debian DLA-3502-1 : python-git - LTS security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 178781

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dla-3502 advisory.

- All versions of package gitpython are vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE) due to improper user input validation, which makes it possible to inject a maliciously crafted remote URL into the clone command.
Exploiting this vulnerability is possible because the library makes external calls to git without sufficient sanitization of input arguments. (CVE-2022-24439)

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

Solution

Upgrade the python-git packages.

For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version 2.1.11-1+deb10u1.
