First published: Fri Apr 08 2022(Updated: )

A vulnerability was found in Git. This flaw occurs due to Git not checking the ownership of directories in a local multi-user system when running commands specified in the local repository configuration. This allows the owner of the repository to cause arbitrary commands to be executed by other users who access the repository.
