1 Git v2.30.7 Release Notes
2 =========================
4 This release addresses the security issues CVE-2022-41903 and
13 git log has the ability to display commits using an arbitrary
14 format with its --format specifiers. This functionality is also
15 exposed to git archive via the export-subst gitattribute.
17 When processing the padding operators (e.g., %<(, %<|(, %>(,
18 %>>(, or %><( ), an integer overflow can occur in
19 pretty.c::format_and_pad_commit() where a size_t is improperly
20 stored as an int, and then added as an offset to a subsequent
23 This overflow can be triggered directly by a user running a
24 command which invokes the commit formatting machinery (e.g., git
25 log --format=...). It may also be triggered indirectly through
26 git archive via the export-subst mechanism, which expands format
27 specifiers inside of files within the repository during a git
30 This integer overflow can result in arbitrary heap writes, which
31 may result in remote code execution.
35 gitattributes are a mechanism to allow defining attributes for
36 paths. These attributes can be defined by adding a `.gitattributes`
37 file to the repository, which contains a set of file patterns and
38 the attributes that should be set for paths matching this pattern.
40 When parsing gitattributes, multiple integer overflows can occur
41 when there is a huge number of path patterns, a huge number of
42 attributes for a single pattern, or when the declared attribute
45 These overflows can be triggered via a crafted `.gitattributes` file
46 that may be part of the commit history. Git silently splits lines
47 longer than 2KB when parsing gitattributes from a file, but not when
48 parsing them from the index. Consequentially, the failure mode
49 depends on whether the file exists in the working tree, the index or
52 This integer overflow can result in arbitrary heap reads and writes,
53 which may result in remote code execution.

56 An initial fix was authored by Markus Vervier of X41 D-Sec. Credit for
57 finding CVE-2022-23521 goes to Markus Vervier and Eric Sesterhenn of X41
58 D-Sec. This work was sponsored by OSTIF.
60 The proposed fixes have been polished and extended to cover additional
61 findings by Patrick Steinhardt of GitLab, with help from others on the
62 Git security mailing list.
