Merely having a Git-aware prompt that runs `git + status` (or `git diff`) and navigating to a directory which is + supposedly not a Git worktree, or opening such a directory in an + editor or IDE such as VS Code or Atom, will potentially run + commands defined by that other user. + +Credit for finding this vulnerability goes to 俞晨东; The fix was +authored by Johannes Schindelin. diff --git a/Documentation/RelNotes/2.31.2.txt b/Documentation/RelNotes/2.31.2.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..aa13a5b022 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/RelNotes/2.31.2.txt @@ -0,0 +1,6 @@ +Git v2.31.2 Release Notes +========================= + +This release merges up the fixes that appear in v2.30.3 to address +the security issue CVE-2022-24765; see the release notes for that +version for details. diff --git a/Documentation/config.txt b/Documentation/config.txt index bf82766a6a..a1efd744cd 100644 --- a/Documentation/config.txt +++ b/Documentation/config.txt @@ -440,6 +440,8 @@ include::config/rerere.txt[] include::config/reset.txt[] +include::config/safe.txt[] + include::config/sendemail.txt[] include::config/sequencer.txt[] diff --git a/Documentation/config/safe.txt b/Documentation/config/safe.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..63597b2df8 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/config/safe.txt @@ -0,0 +1,21 @@ +safe.directory:: + These config entries specify Git-tracked directories that are + considered safe even if they are owned by someone other than the + current user.
