Important: git security update (Amazon Linux 2)

Package updates are available for Amazon Linux 2 that fix the following vulnerabilities: CVE-2018-11235: In Git before 2.13.7, 2.14.x before 2.14.4, 2.15.x before 2.15.2, 2.16.x before 2.16.4, and 2.17.x before 2.17.1, remote code execution can occur. With a crafted .gitmodules file, a malicious project can execute an arbitrary script on a machine that runs "git clone --recurse-submodules" because submodule "names" are obtained from this file, and then appended to $GIT_DIR/modules, leading to directory traversal with "../" in a name. Finally, post-checkout hooks from a submodule are executed, bypassing the intended design in which hooks are not obtained from a remote server. 1583862: CVE-2018-11235 git: arbitrary code execution when recursively cloning a malicious repository CVE-2018-11233: In Git before 2.13.7, 2.14.x before 2.14.4, 2.15.x before 2.15.2, 2.16.x before 2.16.4, and 2.17.x before 2.17.1, code to sanity-check pathnames on NTFS can result in reading out-of-bounds memory. 1583888: CVE-2018-11233 git: path sanity-checks on NTFS can read arbitrary memory
