FreeBSD : git -- multiple vulnerabilities (3445e4b6-d2b8-11ef-9ff3-43c2b5d6c4c8)

low Nessus Plugin ID 214219

Language:

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 3445e4b6-d2b8-11ef-9ff3-43c2b5d6c4c8 advisory.

Git development team reports:
CVE-2024-50349: Printing unsanitized URLs when asking for credentials made the user susceptible to crafted URLs (e.g. in recursive clones) that mislead the user into typing in passwords for trusted sites that would then be sent to untrusted sites instead.
CVE-2024-52006: Git may pass on Carriage Returns via the credential protocol to credential helpers which use line-reading functions that interpret said Carriage Returns as line endings, even though Git did not intend that.

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

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 packages.
