Is this vulnerability present in the recent 2.13.0?

git-2.13.0 was pushed to Cauldron. Can I upgrade it to 2.13.0 on mageia v5 as well?

Version: Cauldron => 5
Whiteboard: MGA5TOO => (none)

Link to the actual Debian advisory from May 10:
https://www.debian.org/security/2017/dsa-3848

They backported a patch, so we may be able to use it for Mageia 5.

Thanks, David!

I built a new git-2.7.4-1.1mga5 package for mageia 5 core/updates_testing. Assigning to QA for testing. We also need to write an advisory.

Thanks Shlomi!

This may be the easiest instructions for git you can have (forgive his language):

http://rogerdudler.github.io/git-guide/

FYI do this in a VM unless you want home under git influence.

$ git init

configure git some

$ git config --global user.name "your name"
$ git config --global user.email "yourEmail@serviceyouuse.com"

Now I'm listing out some files on the VM I can save in git.  I'll pick one.

[brian@localhost Documents (master)]$ ls
git271.odt  openvpn2316.odt

$ git add openvpn2316.odt

[brian@localhost Documents (master)]$ git commit -m "Commit message"[master (root-commit) b1dcabf] Commit message
 1 file changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)

Seems to be working as designed.  

I am a git neophyte who has used it on a small cloud project, that's about it.  Developers chime in.
