Slackware: 2020-105-01: git Security Update
Summary
Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog: patches/packages/git-2.17.4-i586-1_slack14.2.txz: Upgraded. This update fixes a security issue: With a crafted URL that contains a newline in it, the credential helper machinery can be fooled to give credential information for a wrong host. The attack has been made impossible by forbidding a newline character in any value passed via the credential protocol. Credit for finding the vulnerability goes to Felix Wilhelm of Google Project Zero. For more information, see: https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-5260 (* Security fix *)
