Red Hat alert RHSA-2024:4579-01 (git)

An update for git is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.8 Extended
Update Support.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of
Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which
gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from
the CVE link(s) in the References section.

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)
