From 7716b728c18deb9a2c780e148050e3683d4d93c1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Patrick J Volkerding Date: Wed, 10 Oct 2018 23:09:36 +0000 Subject: Wed Oct 10 23:09:36 UTC 2018 a/kernel-firmware-20181008_c6b6265-noarch-1.txz: Upgraded. a/kernel-generic-4.14.75-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. a/kernel-huge-4.14.75-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. a/kernel-modules-4.14.75-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. d/git-2.19.1-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. Submodules' "URL"s come from the untrusted .gitmodules file, but we blindly gave it to "git clone" to clone submodules when "git clone --recurse-submodules" was used to clone a project that has such a submodule. The code has been hardened to reject such malformed URLs (e.g. one that begins with a dash). Credit for finding and fixing this vulnerability goes to joernchen and Jeff King, respectively.
