+Git v2.17.6 Release Notes
+=========================
+
+This release addresses the security issues CVE-2021-21300.
+
+Fixes since v2.17.5
+-------------------
+
+ * CVE-2021-21300:
+   On case-insensitive file systems with support for symbolic links,
+   if Git is configured globally to apply delay-capable clean/smudge
+   filters (such as Git LFS), Git could be fooled into running
+   remote code during a clone.
+
+Credit for finding and fixing this vulnerability goes to Matheus
+Tavares, helped by Johannes Schindelin.
