**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Git versions prior to 2.7.4
**Description**
The issue is caused by an integer overflow in the Git distributed version control system. This can be exploited by a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code using a long filename or many nested trees, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.
**Recommendations**
For Git versions prior to 2.7.4, update to version 2.7.4 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of long filenames and nested trees to minimize the risk of exploitation.
