Debian Security Advisory DSA-4010-1 security@debian.org
https://www.debian.org/security/ Sebastien Delafond
October 30, 2017 https://www.debian.org/security/faq
- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : git-annex
CVE ID : CVE-2017-12976
Debian Bug : 873088
It was discovered that git-annex, a tool to manage files with git
without checking their contents in, did not correctly handle
maliciously constructed ssh:// URLs. This allowed an attacker to run
an arbitrary shell command.
For the oldstable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed
in version 5.20141125+deb8u1.
For the stable distribution (stretch), this problem has been fixed in
version 6.20170101-1+deb9u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your git-annex packages.
