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: Recursive clones RCE (CVE-2024-32002)
* git: RCE while cloning local repos (CVE-2024-32004)
* git: additional local RCE (CVE-2024-32465)
* git: insecure hardlinks (CVE-2024-32020)
* git: symlink bypass (CVE-2024-32021)

Critical 9.1
Git's recursive clones on case-insensitive filesystems that support symlinks are susceptible to Remote Code Execution
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, repositories with submodules can be crafted in a way that exploits a bug in Git whereby it can be fooled into writing files not into the submodule'…

High 8.2CVE-2024-32004 Public exploit
Git vulnerable to Remote Code Execution while cloning special-crafted local repositories
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, an attacker can prepare a local repository in such a way that, when cloned, will execute arbitrary code during the operation. The problem has been …

High 7.4
Git's protections for cloning untrusted repositories can be bypassed
Git is a revision control system. The Git project recommends to avoid working in untrusted repositories, and instead to clone it first with `git clone --no-local` to obtain a clean copy. Git has specific protections to make that a safe operation even with an …

Low 3.9
Cloning local Git repository by untrusted user allows the untrusted user to modify objects in the cloned repository at will
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, local clones may end up hardlinking files into the target repository's object database when source and target repository reside on the same disk. I…

Low 3.9
Local Git clone may hardlink arbitrary user-readable files into the new repository's "objects/" directory
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 …
