Oracle Linux: CVE-2024-32004: ELSA-2024-4083: git security update (IMPORTANT) (Multiple Advisories)

Git is a revision control system. Prior to versions 2.45.1, 2.44.1, 2.43.4, 2.42.2, 2.41.1, 2.40.2, and 2.39.4, an attacker can prepare a local repository in such a way that, when cloned, will execute arbitrary code during the operation. The problem has been patched in versions 2.45.1, 2.44.1, 2.43.4, 2.42.2, 2.41.1, 2.40.2, and 2.39.4. As a workaround, avoid cloning repositories from untrusted sources.
A vulnerability was found in Git. This vulnerability can be exploited by an unauthenticated attacker who places a specialized repository on the target's local system. If the victim clones this repository, the attacker can execute arbitrary code.
