Upgrade Git to one of the fixed versions: 2.39.4, 2.40.2, 2.41.1, 2.42.2, 2.43.4, or 2.44.1. As a workaround, avoid using Git on repositories obtained from untrusted archive sources such as .zip files. The Git project recommends cloning repositories with 'git clone --no-local' to obtain a clean copy from untrusted sources. Follow official Git advisories for the latest remediation guidance.
Description
CVE-2024-32465 is a path traversal vulnerability in Git that affects certain versions prior to patched releases. It allows bypassing protections when working with untrusted repositories, especially when repositories are obtained as archives like .zip files. This can lead to execution of malicious hooks within the repository context. The issue has been fixed in multiple Git versions starting from 2.39.4, 2.40.2, 2.41.1, 2.42.2, 2.43.4, and 2.44.1. Users are advised to avoid using Git on repositories obtained from untrusted archive sources or to upgrade to patched versions.
