| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
git versions 1.4.4.5 through 1.6.3
git versions prior to 1.6.3.3
Description
The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in an infinite loop and CPU consumption. This can be achieved by sending a request with extra unrecognized arguments. The vulnerability can be exploited remotely, potentially leading to a disruption in the availability of protected information.
Recommendations
For git versions 1.4.4.5 through 1.6.3, consider updating to a version outside of this range to mitigate the risk.
For git versions prior to 1.6.3.3, update to version 1.6.3.3 or later to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the git-daemon to minimize the risk of exploitation.
