– Ubuntu 15.10

Summary:
Git could be made to run programs as your login if it processed an
untrusted repository.
Software Description:
– git: fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
Details:

handled recursive clones of git repositories. A remote attacker could
possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code by injecting commands
via crafted URLs.
