| Git v2.14.5 Release Notes | |
| ========================= | |
| This release is to address the recently reported CVE-2018-17456. | |
| Fixes since v2.14.4 | |
| ------------------- | |
| * Submodules' "URL"s come from the untrusted .gitmodules file, but | |
| we blindly gave it to "git clone" to clone submodules when "git | |
| clone --recurse-submodules" was used to clone a project that has | |
| such a submodule. The code has been hardened to reject such | |
| malformed URLs (e.g. one that begins with a dash). | |
| Credit for finding and fixing this vulnerability goes to joernchen | |
| and Jeff King, respectively. |
