1 Git v2.14.5 Release Notes
2 =========================
4 This release is to address the recently reported CVE-2018-17456.
9 * Submodules' "URL"s come from the untrusted .gitmodules file, but
10 we blindly gave it to "git clone" to clone submodules when "git
11 clone --recurse-submodules" was used to clone a project that has
12 such a submodule. The code has been hardened to reject such
13 malformed URLs (e.g. one that begins with a dash).
15 Credit for finding and fixing this vulnerability goes to joernchen
16 and Jeff King, respectively.
