Descriptions

Git for Windows is a fork of Git that contains Windows-specific patches. This vulnerability in versions prior to 2.37.1 lets Git for Windows' installer execute a binary into `C:\mingw64\bin\git.exe` by mistake. This only happens upon a fresh install, not when upgrading Git for Windows. A patch is included in version 2.37.1. Two workarounds are available. Create the `C:\mingw64` folder and remove read/write access from this folder, or disallow arbitrary authenticated users to create folders in `C:\`.

Git para Windows es un fork de Git que contiene parches específicos para Windows. Esta vulnerabilidad en versiones anteriores a 2.37.1 permite al instalador de Git para Windows ejecutar un binario en "C:\mingw64\bin\git.exe" por error. Esto sólo ocurre en una instalación nueva, no cuando se actualiza Git para Windows. Es incluido un parche en versión 2.37.1. Se presentan dos mitigaciones disponibles. Cree la carpeta "C:\mingw64" y elimine el acceso de lectura/escritura de esta carpeta, o no permita a usuarios autenticados arbitrariamente crear carpetas en "C:\"
