Fedora 38 : GitPython (2023-1ec4e542f9)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 180025

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Fedora 38 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2023-1ec4e542f9 advisory.

 - GitPython before 3.1.32 does not block insecure non-multi options in clone and clone_from. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2022-24439. (CVE-2023-40267)

 - 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 these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected GitPython package.
