http://security.gentoo.org/

Severity:	high
Title:	GitPython: Code Execution via Crafted Input
Date:	11/01/2023
Bugs:	#884623
ID:	202311-01

Synopsis

A vulnerability has been discovered in GitPython where crafted input to Repo.clone_from can lead to code execution

Background

GitPython is a Python library used to interact with Git repositories.

Affected packages

Package	Vulnerable	Unaffected	Architecture(s)
dev-python/GitPython	< 3.1.30	>= 3.1.30	All supported architectures

Description

Please review the CVE identifier referenced below for details.

Impact

An attacker may be able to trigger Remote Code Execution (RCE) due to improper user input validation, which makes it possible to inject a maliciously crafted remote URL into the clone command. Exploiting this vulnerability is possible because the library makes external calls to git without sufficient sanitization of input arguments.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All GitPython users should upgrade to the latest version:

          # emerge --sync
          # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-python/GitPython-3.1.30"
