Description
Git before 2.14.5, 2.15.x before 2.15.3, 2.16.x before 2.16.5, 2.17.x before 2.17.2, 2.18.x before 2.18.1, and 2.19.x before 2.19.1 allows remote code execution during processing of a recursive "git clone" of a superproject if a .gitmodules file has a URL field beginning with a '-' character.
An option injection flaw has been discovered in git when it recursively clones a repository with sub-modules. A remote attacker may configure a malicious repository and trick a user into recursively cloning it, thus executing arbitrary commands on the victim's machine.
