2.7.6

Git v2.7.6 Release Notes ========================

Fixes since v2.7.5 ------------------

• A "ssh://…" URL can result in a "ssh" command line with a hostname that begins with a dash "-", which would cause the "ssh" command to instead (mis)treat it as an option. This is now prevented by forbidding such a hostname (which will not be necessary in the real world).

• Similarly, when GIT_PROXY_COMMAND is configured, the command is run with host and port that are parsed out from "ssh://…" URL; a poorly written GIT_PROXY_COMMAND could be tricked into treating a string that begins with a dash "-". This is now prevented by forbidding such a hostname and port number (again, which will not be necessary in the real world).

• In the same spirit, a repository name that begins with a dash "-" is also forbidden now.
