Summary

Matt Mackall and Augie Fackler discovered that Git incorrectly handled certain
filesystem paths. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to execute
arbitrary code if the Git tree is stored in an HFS+ or NTFS filesystem. The
remote attacker would need write access to a Git repository that the victim
pulls from.
