Descriptions

In ng_pkt in transports/smart_pkt.c in libgit2 before 0.26.6 and 0.27.x before 0.27.4, a remote attacker can send a crafted smart-protocol "ng" packet that lacks a '\0' byte to trigger an out-of-bounds read that leads to DoS.

En ng_pkt en transports/smart_pkt.c en libgit2 antes de 0.26.6 y 0.27.x antes de 0.27.4, un atacante remoto puede enviar un paquete "ng" de protocolo inteligente manipulado que le falte un byte "\0" para activar una lectura fuera de límites que conduzca a una denegación de servicio (DoS).
