Git v2.30.5 Release Notes
|
||||
=========================
|
||||
|
||||
This release contains minor fix-ups for the changes that went into
|
||||
Git 2.30.3 and 2.30.4, addressing CVE-2022-29187.
|
||||
|
||||
* The safety check that verifies a safe ownership of the Git
|
||||
worktree is now extended to also cover the ownership of the Git
|
||||
directory (and the `.git` file, if there is any).

||||

is set in system config and you want to re-enable this protection, then
|

initialize your list with an empty value before listing the repositories
|

that you deem safe.

As explained, Git only allows you to access repositories owned by
|
||||
yourself, i.e. the user who is running Git, by default. When Git
|
||||
is running as 'root' in a non Windows platform that provides sudo,
|
||||
however, git checks the SUDO_UID environment variable that sudo creates
|
||||
and will allow access to the uid recorded as its value in addition to
|
||||
the id from 'root'.
|
||||
This is to make it easy to perform a common sequence during installation
|
||||
"make && sudo make install". A git process running under 'sudo' runs as
|
||||
'root' but the 'sudo' command exports the environment variable to record
|
||||
which id the original user has.
|
||||
If that is not what you would prefer and want git to only trust
|
||||
repositories that are owned by root instead, then you can remove
|
||||
the `SUDO_UID` variable from root's environment before invoking git.
