- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian LTS Advisory DLA-4028-1 [email protected] https://www.debian.org/lts/security/ Andrej Shadura January 22, 2025 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : git-lfs Version : 2.13.2-1+deb11u1 CVE ID : CVE-2024-53263 Debian Bug : 1093048

CVE-2024-53263

When Git LFS requests credentials from Git for a remote host, it passes portions of the host's URL to the `git-credential(1)` command without checking for embedded line-ending control characters, and then sends any credentials it receives back from the Git credential helper to the remote host. By inserting URL-encoded control characters such as line feed (LF) or carriage return (CR) characters into the URL, an attacker may be able to retrieve a user's Git credentials.

For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version 2.13.2-1+deb11u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your git-lfs packages.
