Technical Description
Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in GIT, which could be exploited by attackers to cause a denial of service or compromise a vulnerable system. These issues are caused by buffer overflow errors in various functions e.g. "diff_addremove()" or "diff_change()" when processing overly long pathnames when running "git-grep" or "git-diff", which could be exploited to create a denial of service condition or execute arbitrary code.
