FreeBSD : git -- Arbitrary command execution on case-insensitive filesystems (1d567278-87a5-11e4-879c-000c292ee6b8)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 80148

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The Git Project reports :

When using a case-insensitive filesystem an attacker can craft a malicious Git tree that will cause Git to overwrite its own .git/config file when cloning or checking out a repository, leading to arbitrary command execution in the client machine. If you are a hosting service whose users may fetch from your service to Windows or Mac OS X machines, you are strongly encouraged to update to protect such users who use existing versions of Git.

Solution

Update the affected package.
