Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in git, a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system.

CVE-2019-1348

It was reported that the --export-marks option of git fast-import is
exposed also via the in-stream command feature export-marks=...,
allowing to overwrite arbitrary paths.

CVE-2019-1387

It was discovered that submodule names are not validated strictly
enough, allowing very targeted attacks via remote code execution
when performing recursive clones.


For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version 1:1.7.10.4-1+wheezy8.

We recommend that you upgrade your git packages.
