Description

The Git community reports:

A carefully constructed commit object with a very large number

of parents may lead to potential out-of-bounds writes or

potential denial of service.

The ProgramData configuration file is always read for compatibility

with Git for Windows and Portable Git installations. The ProgramData

location is not necessarily writable only by administrators, so we

now ensure that the configuration file is owned by the administrator

or the current user.
