SB2025012142 - SUSE update for git

Description

This security bulletin contains information about 7 secuirty vulnerabilities.

1) Arbitrary file upload (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-32002)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of file during file upload. A remote attacker can upload a malicious file and execute it on the server.

2) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-32004)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a process control issue while cloning special-crafted local repositories. A remote attacker can execute arbitrary code on the target system.

3) UNIX Hard Link (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-32020)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the original repository.

The vulnerability exists due to insecure hardlink following when working with local clones. Local clones may end up hardlinking files into the target repository's object database when source and target repository reside on the same disk. If the source repository is owned by a different user, then those hardlinked files may be rewritten at any point in time by the untrusted user.

4) UNIX symbolic link following (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-32021)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the original repository.

The vulnerability exists due to insecure symlink following issue. When cloning a local source repository that contains symlinks via the filesystem, Git may create hardlinks to arbitrary user-readable files on the same filesystem as the target repository in the objects/ directory.

5) Code injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-32465)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when working with zip files or tarballs during cloning. A remote attacker can and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

6) Improper Encoding or Escaping of Output (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-50349)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing  attack.

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect handling of control sequences in account names when asking for credentials. A remote attacker can trick the victim into clicking on a specially crafted URL and trick users into providing passwords for trusted Git hosting sites when in fact they are then sent to untrusted sites that are under the attacker's control.

7) Improper Encoding or Escaping of Output (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-52006)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to exfiltrate data.

The vulnerability exists due to newline confusion in credential helpers when interpreting single Carriage Return characters. A remote attacker can gain access to sensitive information.
