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.
