libgit2: upgrade 1.5.0 -> 1.5.1
Fixes:
libgit2, when compiled using the optional, included libssh2 backend, fails to verify SSH keys by default.
Description:
When using an SSH remote with the optional, included libssh2 backend, libgit2 does not perform certificate checking by default. Prior versions of libgit2 require the caller to set the certificate_check field of libgit2's git_remote_callbacks structure - if a certificate check callback is not set, libgit2 does not perform any certificate checking. This means that by default - without configuring a certificate check callback, clients will not perform validation on the server SSH keys and may be subject to a man-in-the-middle attack.
Beginning in libgit2 v1.4.5 and v1.5.1, libgit2 will now perform host key checking by default. Users can still override the default behavior using the certificate_check function.
The libgit2 security team would like to thank the Julia and Rust security teams for responsibly disclosing this vulnerability and assisting with fixing the vulnerability.
