CVE-2018-11235

CVE Details

Release Date:	2018-07-30
Impact:	None	What is this?

Description

In Git before 2.13.7, 2.14.x before 2.14.4, 2.15.x before 2.15.2,2.16.x before 2.16.4, and 2.17.x before 2.17.1, remote code execution can occur. With a crafted .gitmodules file, a malicious project can execute an arbitrary script on a machine that runs "git clone --recurse-submodules" because submodule "names" are obtained from this file, and then appended to /modules, leading to directory traversal with "../" in a name. Finally, post-checkout hooks from a submodule are executed, bypassing the intended design in which hooks are not obtained from a remote server.
