  • patches/packages/git-2.17.5-i486-1_slack14.0.txz
    This update fixes a security issue:
    With a crafted URL that contains a newline or empty host, or lacks
    a scheme, the credential helper machinery can be fooled into
    providing credential information that is not appropriate for the
    protocol in use and host being contacted.
    Unlike the vulnerability CVE-2020-5260 fixed in v2.17.4, the
    credentials are not for a host of the attacker's choosing; instead,
    they are for some unspecified host (based on how the configured
    credential helper handles an absent “host” parameter).
    For more information, see:

    (* Security fix *)
