Medium ALSA-2025:7482 1 CVE

Moderate: git security update

Published May 13, 2025 · Updated Oct 29, 2026

Summary

Git is a distributed revision control system with a decentralized architecture. As opposed to centralized version control systems with a client-server model, Git ensures that each working copy of a Git repository is an exact copy with complete revision history. This not only allows the user to work on and contribute to projects without the need to have permission to push the changes to their official repositories, but also makes it possible for the user to work with no network connection.

Security Fix(es):

* git: The sideband payload is passed unfiltered to the terminal in git (CVE-2024-52005)
