------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian LTS Advisory DLA-3939-1 [email protected] https://www.debian.org/lts/security/ Daniel Leidert October 29, 2024 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : python-git Version : 3.1.14-1+deb11u1 CVE ID : CVE-2022-24439 CVE-2023-40267 CVE-2023-41040 Debian Bug : 1027163 1043503

GitPython provides object model access to a Git repository.

CVE-2022-24439, CVE-2023-40267 (follow-up)

Remote Code Execution (RCE) is possible 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-2023-41040

GitPython reads files from the `.git` directory, in some places the name of the file being read is provided by the user, GitPython doesn't check if this file is located outside the `.git` directory.
This allows an attacker to make GitPython read any file from the system.

For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version 3.1.14-1+deb11u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your python-git packages.

For the detailed security status of python-git please refer to its security tracker page at:
