This is a security release fixing the following issues:
-
CVE-2019-1348: the fast-import stream command "feature
export-marks=path" allows writing to arbitrary file paths. As
libgit2 does not offer any interface for fast-import, it is not
susceptible to this vulnerability. -
CVE-2019-1349: by using NTFS 8.3 short names, backslashes or
alternate filesystreams, it is possible to cause submodules to
be written into pre-existing directories during a recursive
clone using git. As libgit2 rejects cloning into non-empty
directories by default, it is not susceptible to this
vulnerability. -
CVE-2019-1350: recursive clones may lead to arbitrary remote
code executing due to improper quoting of command line
arguments. As libgit2 uses libssh2, which does not require us
to perform command line parsing, it is not susceptible to this
vulnerability. -
CVE-2019-1351: Windows provides the ability to substitute
drive letters with arbitrary letters, including multi-byte
Unicode letters. To fix any potential issues arising from
interpreting such paths as relative paths, we have extended
detection of DOS drive prefixes to accomodate for such cases. -
CVE-2019-1352: by using NTFS-style alternative file streams for
the ".git" directory, it is possible to overwrite parts of the
repository. While this has been fixed in the past for Windows,
the same vulnerability may also exist on other systems that
write to NTFS filesystems. We now reject any paths starting
with ".git:" on all systems. -
CVE-2019-1353: by using NTFS-style 8.3 short names, it was
possible to write to the ".git" directory and thus overwrite
parts of the repository, leading to possible remote code
execution. While this problem was already fixed in the past for
Windows, other systems accessing NTFS filesystems are
vulnerable to this issue too. We now enable NTFS protecions by
default on all systems to fix this attack vector. -
CVE-2019-1354: on Windows, backslashes are not a valid part of
a filename but are instead interpreted as directory separators.
As other platforms allowed to use such paths, it was possible
to write such invalid entries into a Git repository and was
thus an attack vector to write into the ".git" dierctory. We
now reject any entries starting with ".git" on all systems. -
CVE-2019-1387: it is possible to let a submodule's git
directory point into a sibling's submodule directory, which may
result in overwriting parts of the Git repository and thus lead
to arbitrary command execution. As libgit2 doesn't provide any
way to do submodule clones natively, it is not susceptible to
this vulnerability. Users of libgit2 that have implemented
recursive submodule clones manually are encouraged to review
their implementation for this vulnerability.
