+Git v2.17.5 Release Notes
2
+=========================
3
+
4
+This release is to address a security issue: CVE-2020-11008
5
+
6
+Fixes since v2.17.4
7
+-------------------
8
+
9
+ * With a crafted URL that contains a newline or empty host, or lacks
10
+ a scheme, the credential helper machinery can be fooled into
11
+ providing credential information that is not appropriate for the
12
+ protocol in use and host being contacted.
13
+
14
+ Unlike the vulnerability CVE-2020-5260 fixed in v2.17.4, the
15
+ credentials are not for a host of the attacker's choosing; instead,
16
+ they are for some unspecified host (based on how the configured
17
+ credential helper handles an absent "host" parameter).
18
+
19
+ The attack has been made impossible by refusing to work with
20
+ under-specified credential patterns.
21
+
22
+Credit for finding the vulnerability goes to Carlo Arenas.
