SB2024071247 - SUSE update for git

Description

This security bulletin contains information about 6 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) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-1423)

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote unauthenticated user to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
The vulnerability is caused by incorrect filtration of input data. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in victim’s browser in security context of vulnerable website.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks
