2.13.7

Git v2.13.7 Release Notes =========================

Fixes since v2.13.6 -------------------

• Submodule "names" come from the untrusted .gitmodules file, but we blindly append them to $GIT_DIR/modules to create our on-disk repo paths. This means you can do bad things by putting "../" into the name. We now enforce some rules for submodule names which will cause Git to ignore these malicious names (CVE-2018-11235).

Credit for finding this vulnerability and the proof of concept from
which the test script was adapted goes to Etienne Stalmans.

• It was possible to trick the code that sanity-checks paths on NTFS into reading random piece of memory (CVE-2018-11233).

Credit for fixing for these bugs goes to Jeff King, Johannes Schindelin and others.
