Red Hat

Red Hat rates this Important.

Red Hat's statement

Red Hat rates this vulnerability as Important because processing untrusted repository migration streams can allow unauthorized access across the underlying filesystem outside the intended repository boundaries. In typical Red Hat Enterprise Linux and containerized environments, Git is broadly integrated into continuous integration systems and developer workspaces. Although standard version control operations do not regularly utilize these specialized stream ingestion capabilities, services that process untrusted external data streams may expose host or container files to arbitrary path traversal under the execution context of the running user.

Red Hat's mitigation

Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability.
