Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2017-2c7ddf53d3
2017-11-21 20:38:55.508885
——————————————————————————–

Name : git
Product : Fedora 27
Version : 2.14.3
Release : 2.fc27
URL : https://git-scm.com/
Summary : Fast Version Control System
Description :
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.

The git rpm installs common set of tools which are usually using with
small amount of dependencies. To install all git packages, including
tools for integrating with other SCMs, install the git-all meta-package.

Update Information:

Previous versions of git mishandled layers of tree objects, which allowed remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted
repository, aka a git bomb. This can also have an impact of disk consumption;
however, an affected process typically would not survive its attempt to build
the data structure in memory before writing to disk.
