Description
This security bulletin contains information about 8 vulnerabilities.
1) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-1348)
CWE-ID: CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when the export-marks option of git fast-import is exposed also via the in-stream command feature. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and overwrite arbitrary paths on the system.
2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-1349)
CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input within the Git for Visual Studio. A remote attacker can convince the user to clone a malicious repo and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
3) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-1350)
CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input within the Git for Visual Studio. A remote attacker can convince the user to clone a malicious repo and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
4) Absolute Path Traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-1351)
CWE-ID: CWE-36 - Absolute Path Traversal
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to the Git for Visual Studio improperly handles virtual drive paths. A remote attacker can clone a file using a specially crafted path and write arbitrary files and directories to certain locations on a vulnerable system.
5) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-1352)
CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input within the Git for Visual Studio. A remote attacker can convince the user to clone a malicious repo and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
6) Incorrect default permissions (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-1353)
CWE-ID: CWE-276 - Incorrect Default Permissions
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists to due none of the NTFS protections are active when accessing a working directory on a regular Windows drive. A local user with access to the system can view contents of files and directories or modify them.
Note: This vulnerability occurs when running Git in the Windows Subsystem for Linux (also known as "WSL").
7) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-1354)
CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input within the Git for Visual Studio. A remote attacker can convince the user to clone a malicious repo and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
8) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-1387)
CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input within the Git for Visual Studio. A remote attacker can convince the user to clone a malicious repo and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
