Descriptions
Git before 2.19.2 on Linux and UNIX executes commands from the current working directory (as if '.' were at the end of $PATH) in certain cases involving the run_command() API and run-command.c, because there was a dangerous change from execvp to execv during 2017.
Git, en versiones anteriores a la 2.19.2 en Linux y UNIX, ejecuta comandos desde el directorio de trabajo actual (como si '.' estuviera al final de $PATH) en determinados casos relacionados con la API run_command() y run-command.c, debido a un cambio peligroso desde execvp hasta execv en el 2017.
