[SECURITY] [DSA-2114-1] New git-core packages fix regression

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Debian Security Advisory DSA-2114-1 security@debian.org

Package : git-core
Vulnerability : buffer overflow
Problem type : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CVE-2010-2542
Debian bug : 595728 590026

The Debian stable point release 5.0.6 included updated packages of
the Git revision control system in order to fix a security issue.
Unfortunately, the update introduced a regression which could make
it impossible to clone or create git repositories. This upgrade
fixes this regression, which is tracked as Debian bug #595728.

The original security issue allowed an attacker to execute arbitrary
code if he could trick a local user to execute a git command in a
crafted working directory (CVE-2010-2542).

For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.5.6.5-3+lenny3.2.

The packages for the hppa architecture are not included in this
advisory. However, the hppa architecture is not known to be affected
by the regression.

For the testing distribution (squeeze) and the unstable distribution
(sid), the security issue has been fixed in version 1.7.1-1.1. These
distributions were not affected by the regression.

We recommend that you upgrade your git-core packages.
