Git · Git · CVE-2017-15298
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Git versions through 2.14.2
**Description**
The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service due to memory consumption via a crafted repository. This can also impact disk consumption, although an affected process typically would not survive its attempt to build the data structure in memory before writing to disk.
**Recommendations**
For Git versions through 2.14.2, update to a version later than 2.14.2 to resolve the issue.
