Amazon Linux 1 Security Advisory: ALAS-2015-613
Advisory Release Date: 2015-12-14 10:00 Pacific
Advisory Updated Date: 2015-12-13 14:13 Pacific
Severity:
Medium
Issue Overview:
A flaw was found in the way the git-remote-ext helper processed certain URLs. If a user had Git configured to automatically clone submodules from untrusted repositories, an attacker could inject commands into the URL of a submodule, allowing them to execute arbitrary code on the user's system.
Affected Packages:
git
Issue Correction:
Run yum update git to update your system.
