Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in git-fastclone up to 1.0.0 (Versioning Software). It has been declared as critical. This vulnerability affects an unknown part of the file .gitmodules. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a command injection vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-77. The product constructs all or part of a command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended command when it is sent to a downstream component. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

git-fastclone before 1.0.1 permits arbitrary shell command execution from .gitmodules. If an attacker can instruct a user to run a recursive clone from a repository they control, they can get a client to run an arbitrary shell command. Alternately, if an attacker can MITM an unencrypted git clone, they could exploit this. The ext command will be run if the repository is recursively cloned or if submodules are updated. This attack works when cloning both local and remote repositories.

The weakness was disclosed 11/03/2016 (Website). The advisory is shared for download at securityfocus.com. This vulnerability was named CVE-2015-8968 since 11/02/2016.
