Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
EUVDB-ID: #VU27257
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 3.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2020-11008
CWE-ID:
CWE-522 - Insufficiently Protected Credentials
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information on the system
The vulnerability exists due to the Git can be tricked into sending private credentials to a host controlled by an attacker. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted URL to "git clone" that will present stored credentials for any host to a host of their choosing.
Note: This vulnerability is similar to the CVE-2020-5260 (SB2020041523). The fix for that bug still left the door open for an exploit where some credential is leaked (but the attacker cannot control which one).
MitigationUpdate the affected package git.
