Amazon Linux 1 Security Advisory: ALAS-2018-948
Advisory Release Date: 2018-02-07 17:34 Pacific
Advisory Updated Date: 2018-02-08 21:32 Pacific
Severity:
Low
Issue Overview:
Mishandling layers of tree objects
Git through 2.14.2 mishandles layers of tree objects, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted repository, aka a Git bomb. This can also have an impact of disk consumption; however, an affected process typically would not survive its attempt to build the data structure in memory before writing to disk. (CVE-2017-15298)
Affected Packages:
git
