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).
