+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in gitweb that is part of
+ the git package:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ Shell metacharacters related to git_search are not properly sanitized
+ (CVE-2008-5516).
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Shell metacharacters related to git_snapshot and git_object are not
+ properly sanitized (CVE-2008-5517).
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The diff.external configuration variable as set in a repository can be
+ executed by gitweb (CVE-2008-5916).
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ A remote unauthenticated attacker can execute arbitrary commands via
+ shell metacharacters in a query, remote attackers with write access to
+ a git repository configuration can execute arbitrary commands with the
+ privileges of the user running gitweb by modifying the diff.external
+ configuration variable in the repository and sending a crafted query to
+ gitweb.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All git users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-util/git-1.6.0.6"</code>
