Security Fix(es):
libgit2: A flaw was found in libgit2, a cross-platform, linkable library implementation of Git. This flaw allows an attacker using a specially-crafted payload to `git_revparse_single` and cause the function to enter an infinite loop. This issue potentially causes a denial of service attack in the calling application.(CVE-2024-24575)
libgit2: A flaw was found in libgit2, a cross-platform, linkable library implementation of Git. A specially crafted payload to git_index_add can cause heap corruption that could be leveraged for arbitrary code execution. The attacker must be able to trigger two consecutive calls to git_index_add with a filename that starts with a / character to exploit this vulnerability. To control the heap corruption, the attacker must be able to control the ctime field of the git_index_entry data structure.(CVE-2024-24577)
libgit2: bugfix
librsvg2: A directory traversal vulnerability was discovered in the URL decoder of Librsvg. This issue occurs when xinclude href has special characters; demonstrated by href=".?../../../../../../../../../../etc/passwd" in an xi:include element, which can allow an attacker to send a specially crafted URL request containing "dot dot" sequences (/../) to view arbitrary files on the system, affecting the data confidentiality.(CVE-2023-38633)
