Package : cgit
CVE ID : CVE-2018-14912
Debian Bug : 905382
Jann Horn discovered a directory traversal vulnerability in cgit, a fast
web frontend for git repositories written in C. A remote attacker can
take advantage of this flaw to retrieve arbitrary files via a specially
crafted request, when 'enable-http-clone=1' (default) is not turned off.
For the stable distribution (stretch), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.1+git2.10.2-3+deb9u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your cgit packages.
For the detailed security status of cgit please refer to its security
tracker page at:
