Descriptions

Integer overflow in Git before 2.7.4 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a (1) long filename or (2) many nested trees, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.

Desboradmiento de entero en Git en versiones anteriores a 2.7.4 permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario a través de un (1) nombre de archivo grande o (2) muchos árboles anidados, lo que desencadena un desbordamiento de buffer basado en memoria dinámica.

An integer truncation flaw and an integer overflow flaw, both leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, were found in the way Git processed certain path information. A remote attacker could create a specially crafted Git repository that would cause a Git client or server to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code.
