Git is a distributed version control system.

Multiple boundary errors in the functions diff_addremove() and
diff_change() when processing overly long repository path names were
reported.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
A remote attacker could entice a user to run commands like "git-diff"
or "git-grep" on a specially crafted repository, possibly resulting in
the remote execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user
running the application.
</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 ">=dev-util/git-1.5.6.4"</code>
</resolution>
