[slackware-security]  git (SSA:2023-018-01)

New git packages are available for Slackware 14.0, 14.1, 14.2, 15.0,
and -current to fix security issues.


Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/git-2.35.6-i586-1_slack15.0.txz:  Upgraded.
  This release fixes two security issues:
  * CVE-2022-41903:
  git log has the ability to display commits using an arbitrary
  format with its --format specifiers. This functionality is also
  exposed to git archive via the export-subst gitattribute.
  When processing the padding operators (e.g., %<(, %<|(, %>(,
  %>>(, or %><( ), an integer overflow can occur in
  pretty.c::format_and_pad_commit() where a size_t is improperly
  stored as an int, and then added as an offset to a subsequent
  memcpy() call.
  This overflow can be triggered directly by a user running a
  command which invokes the commit formatting machinery (e.g., git
  log --format=...). It may also be triggered indirectly through
  git archive via the export-subst mechanism, which expands format
  specifiers inside of files within the repository during a git
  archive.
  This integer overflow can result in arbitrary heap writes, which
  may result in remote code execution.
  * CVE-2022-23521:
  gitattributes are a mechanism to allow defining attributes for
  paths. These attributes can be defined by adding a `.gitattributes`
  file to the repository, which contains a set of file patterns and
  the attributes that should be set for paths matching this pattern.
  When parsing gitattributes, multiple integer overflows can occur
  when there is a huge number of path patterns, a huge number of
  attributes for a single pattern, or when the declared attribute
  names are huge.
  These overflows can be triggered via a crafted `.gitattributes` file
  that may be part of the commit history. Git silently splits lines
  longer than 2KB when parsing gitattributes from a file, but not when
  parsing them from the index. Consequentially, the failure mode
  depends on whether the file exists in the working tree, the index or
  both.
  This integer overflow can result in arbitrary heap reads and writes,
  which may result in remote code execution.
