{"id":"MGASA-2014-0546","summary":"Updated git packages fix security vulnerability","details":"It was reported that git, when used as a client on a case-insensitive\nfilesystem, could allow the overwrite of the .git/config file when the client\nperformed a \"git pull\".  Because git permitted committing .Git/config (or any\ncase variation), on the pull this would replace the user's .git/config.  If\nthis malicious config file contained defined external commands (such as for\ninvoking and editor or an external diff utility) it could allow for the\nexecution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the git\nclient (CVE-2014-9390).\n","modified":"2026-04-16T06:23:41.998125769Z","published":"2014-12-23T20:35:35Z","upstream":["CVE-2014-9390"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2014-0546.html"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14849"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1853266"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1175960"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"git","ecosystem":"Mageia:4","purl":"pkg:rpm/mageia/git?arch=source&distro=mageia-4"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.8.5.6-1.mga4"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"section":"core"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2014-0546.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","credits":[{"name":"Mageia","contact":["https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Packages_Security_Team"],"type":"COORDINATOR"}]}
