Red Hat

Red Hat rates this Moderate.

Red Hat's statement

Red Hat rates this vulnerability as Moderate because exploitation is restricted to an out-of-bounds read causing a process crash, without enabling arbitrary code execution or unauthorized data exposure. In typical Red Hat deployments, Git operates as an ephemeral, unprivileged client utility within CI/CD pipelines or interactive developer sessions. Consequently, an attack using a malformed binary patch disrupts the immediate Git command execution while leaving the host environment intact.

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.
