Git is an open-source distributed revision control system. In affected versions of Git a specially crafted repository that contains symbolic links as well as files using a clean/smudge filter such as Git LFS, may cause just-checked out script to be executed while cloning onto a case-insensitive file system such as NTFS, HFS+ or APFS (i.e. the default file systems on Windows and macOS). Note that clean/smudge filters have to be configured for that. Git for Windows configures Git LFS by default, and is therefore vulnerable. The problem has been patched in the versions published on Tuesday, March 9th, 2021. As a workaound, if symbolic link support is disabled in Git (e.g. via `git config --global core.symlinks false`), the described attack won't work. Likewise, if no clean/smudge filters such as Git LFS are configured globally (i.e. _before_ cloning), the attack is foiled. As always, it is best to avoid cloning repositories from untrusted sources. The earliest impacted version is 2.14.2. The fix versions are: 2.30.1, 2.29.3, 2.28.1, 2.27.1, 2.26.3, 2.25.5, 2.24.4, 2.23.4, 2.22.5, 2.21.4, 2.20.5, 2.19.6, 2.18.5, 2.17.62.17.6.
An out of bounds memory corruption vulnerability exists in the way Pixar OpenUSD 20.05 reconstructs paths from binary USD files. A specially crafted malformed file can trigger an out of bounds memory modification which can result in remote code execution. To trigger this vulnerability, victim needs to access an attacker-provided malformed file.
A path handling issue was addressed with improved validation. This issue is fixed in macOS Big Sur 11.0.1. A remote attacker may be able to modify the file system.
A use after free issue was addressed with improved memory management. This issue is fixed in macOS Big Sur 11.0.1, watchOS 7.1, iOS 14.2 and iPadOS 14.2, iCloud for Windows 11.5, Safari 14.0.1, tvOS 14.2, iTunes 12.11 for Windows. Processing maliciously crafted web content may lead to arbitrary code execution.
This issue was addressed by removing the vulnerable code. This issue is fixed in macOS Big Sur 11.0.1. An application may be able to gain elevated privileges.
A logic issue existed resulting in memory corruption. This was addressed with improved state management. This issue is fixed in macOS Big Sur 11.0.1. An application may be able to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges.
Multiple integer overflows were addressed with improved input validation. This issue is fixed in macOS Big Sur 11.0.1. A remote attacker may be able to cause unexpected application termination or heap corruption.
An out-of-bounds read was addressed with improved input validation. This issue is fixed in iOS 14.2 and iPadOS 14.2, tvOS 14.2, watchOS 7.1. Processing a maliciously crafted audio file may lead to arbitrary code execution.
