Descriptions

Git is a revision control system. Prior to versions 2.45.1, 2.44.1, 2.43.4, 2.42.2, 2.41.1, 2.40.2, and 2.39.4, when cloning a local source repository that contains symlinks via the filesystem, Git may create hardlinks to arbitrary user-readable files on the same filesystem as the target repository in the `objects/` directory. Cloning a local repository over the filesystem may creating hardlinks to arbitrary user-owned files on the same filesystem in the target Git repository's `objects/` directory. When cloning a repository over the filesystem (without explicitly specifying the `file://` protocol or `--no-local`), the optimizations for local cloning
will be used, which include attempting to hard link the object files instead of copying them. While the code includes checks against symbolic links in the source repository, which were added during the fix for CVE-2022-39253, these checks can still be raced because the hard link operation ultimately follows symlinks. If the object on the filesystem appears as a file during the check, and then a symlink during the operation, this will allow the adversary to bypass the check and create hardlinks in the destination objects directory to arbitrary, user-readable files. The problem has been patched in versions 2.45.1, 2.44.1, 2.43.4, 2.42.2, 2.41.1, 2.40.2, and 2.39.4.

Git es un sistema de control de revisiones. Antes de las versiones 2.45.1, 2.44.1, 2.43.4, 2.42.2, 2.41.1, 2.40.2 y 2.39.4, al clonar un repositorio de origen local que contiene enlaces simbólicos a través del sistema de archivos, Git puede crear enlaces duros a archivos arbitrarios legibles por el usuario en el mismo sistema de archivos que el repositorio de destino en el directorio `objects/`. Clonar un repositorio local sobre el sistema de archivos puede crear enlaces duros a archivos arbitrarios propiedad del usuario en el mismo sistema de archivos en el directorio `objects/` del repositorio Git de destino. Al clonar un repositorio a través del sistema de archivos (sin especificar explícitamente el protocolo `file://` o `--no-local`), se utilizarán las optimizaciones para la clonación local, que incluyen intentar vincular los archivos objeto en lugar de copiarlos. a ellos. Si bien el código incluye verificaciones de enlaces simbólicos en el repositorio de origen, que se agregaron durante la corrección de CVE-2022-39253, estas verificaciones aún se pueden ejecutar porque la operación de enlace físico finalmente sigue enlaces simbólicos. Si el objeto en el sistema de archivos aparece como un archivo durante la verificación, y luego como un enlace simbólico durante la operación, esto permitirá al adversario eludir la verificación y crear vínculos físicos en el directorio de objetos de destino a archivos arbitrarios legibles por el usuario. El problema se solucionó en las versiones 2.45.1, 2.44.1, 2.43.4, 2.42.2, 2.41.1, 2.40.2 y 2.39.4.

A vulnerability was found in Git. This flaw allows an unauthenticated attacker to place a repository on their target's local system that contains symlinks. During the cloning process, Git could be tricked into creating hardlinked arbitrary files into their repository's objects/ directory, impacting availability and integrity.
