[ASA-202004-13] git: information disclosure
Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-202004-13 ========================================== Severity: High Date : 2020-04-14 CVE-ID : CVE-2020-5260 Package : git Type : information disclosure Remote : Yes Link : https://security.archlinux.org/AVG-1133 Summary ======= The package git before version 2.26.1-1 is vulnerable to information disclosure. Resolution ========== Upgrade to 2.26.1-1. # pacman -Syu "git>=2.26.1-1" The problem has been fixed upstream in version 2.26.1. Workaround ========== The most complete workaround is to disable credential helpers altogether: git config --unset credential.helper git config --global --unset credential.helper git config --system --unset credential.helper An alternative is to avoid malicious URLs: 1. Examine the hostname and username portion of URLs fed to git clone for the presence of encoded newlines (%0a) or evidence of credential- protocol injections (e.g., host=github.com) 2. Avoid using submodules with untrusted repositories (don't use clone --recurse-submodules; use git submodule update only after examining the URLs found in .gitmodules) 3. Avoid tools which may run git clone on untrusted URLs under the hood Description =========== Affected versions of Git have a vulnerability whereby Git can be tricked into sending private credentials to a host controlled by an attacker. Git uses external "credential helper" programs to store and retrieve passwords or other credentials from secure storage provided by the operating system. Specially-crafted URLs that contain an encoded newline can inject unintended values into the credential helper protocol stream, causing the credential helper to retrieve the password for one server (e.g., good.example.com) for an HTTP request being made to another server (e.g., evil.example.com), resulting in credentials for the former being sent to the latter. There are no restrictions on the relationship between the two, meaning that an attacker can craft a URL that will present stored credentials for any host to a host of their choosing. The vulnerability can be triggered by feeding a malicious URL to git clone. However, the affected URLs look rather suspicious; the likely vector would be through systems which automatically clone URLs not visible to the user, such as Git submodules, or package systems built around Git. The problem has been patched in the versions published on April 14th, 2020, going back to v2.17.x. Anyone wishing to backport the change further can do so by applying commit 9a6bbee (the full release includes extra checks for git fsck, but that commit is sufficient to protect clients against the vulnerability). The patched versions are: 2.17.4, 2.18.3, 2.19.4, 2.20.3, 2.21.2, 2.22.3, 2.23.2, 2.24.2, 2.25.3, 2.26.1. Impact ====== A remote attacker could trick Git into returning credential information for a wrong host by providing a malicious URL.
