CVE request: git
From: Greg Brockman <gdb () MIT EDU>

A fix for an exploitable buffer overrun was committed to git in [1]. In particular, if an attacker were to create a crafted working copy where the user runs any git command, the attacker could force execution of arbitrary code. This attack should be mitigated to a denial of service if git is compiled with appropriate stack-protecting flags. This buffer overrun was introduced in [2], which first appeared in v1.5.6, and is fixed in v1.7.2.
