Remedy

Use git apply --stat to inspect a patch before applying; avoid applying one that creates a symbolic link and then creates a file beyond the symbolic link.

AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N

A vulnerability was found in Git. Using a specially-crafted repository, Git can be tricked into using its local clone optimization even when using a non-local transport. Though Git will abort local clones whose source $GITDIR/objects directory contains symbolic links (CVE-2022-39253), the objects directory may still be a symbolic link.

Remedy

- Avoid cloning repositories from untrusted sources with --recurse-submodules. - Instead, consider cloning repositories without recursively cloning their submodules, and instead run git submodule update at each layer. Before doing so, inspect each new .gitmodules file to ensure that it does not contain suspicious module URLs.
