Update Information:

Resolve an arbitrary code execution vulnerability via crafted “ssh://” URL
(CVE-2017-1000117). From the [release announcement](https://public-
inbox.org/git/xmqqh8xf482j.fsf@gitster.mtv.corp.google.com/): A malicious
third-party can give a crafted “ssh://…” URL to an unsuspecting victim,
and an attempt to visit the URL can result in any program that exists on the
victim’s machine being executed. Such a URL could be placed in the
.gitmodules file of a malicious project, and an unsuspecting victim could be
tricked into running “git clone –recurse-submodules” to trigger the
vulnerability. Credits to find and fix the issue go to Brian Neel at
GitLab, Joern Schneeweisz of Recurity Labs and Jeff King at GitHub.
