| 7 | * Submodule "names" come from the untrusted .gitmodules file, but we |
| 8 | blindly append them to $GIT_DIR/modules to create our on-disk repo |
| 9 | paths. This means you can do bad things by putting "../" into the |
| 10 | name. We now enforce some rules for submodule names which will cause |
| 11 | Git to ignore these malicious names (CVE-2018-11235). |

| 13 | Credit for finding this vulnerability and the proof of concept from |
| 14 | which the test script was adapted goes to Etienne Stalmans. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | * It was possible to trick the code that sanity-checks paths on NTFS |
| 17 | into reading random piece of memory (CVE-2018-11233). |

| 19 | Credit for fixing for these bugs goes to Jeff King, Johannes |
| 20 | Schindelin and others. |
