Subject: Re: CVE request -- git


CVE-2008-5916 was assigned to the diff.external issue.

I updated the descriptions for CVE-2008-5516 and CVE-2008-5517 based on
Tomas' description.

Sebastian - it's not clear to me whether SUSE:SUSE-SR:2009:001 is
addressing CVE-2008-5516, CVE-2008-5517, or both.  Same question to the
rPath maintainers...

Reference: CONFIRM:https://issues.rpath.com/browse/RPL-2936

The web interface in git (gitweb) 1.5.6, and possibly other versions,
allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell
metacharacters, related to (1) git_snapshot and (2) git_object.  NOTE:
because of the lack of details, it is not clear whether CVE-2008-5516
and CVE-2008-5517 are distinct issues on the rPath Linux 2 platform.
