Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.
1) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-16976)
The vulnerability allows a remote authenticated user to read and manipulate data.
Gitolite before 3.6.9 does not (in certain configurations involving @all or a regex) properly restrict access to a Git repository that is in the process of being migrated until the full set of migration steps has been completed. This can allow valid users to obtain unintended access.
