From ${URL} : As mentioned in early messages to oss-sec, I've inherited maintainership of the cgit codebase and am gradually auditing it. Today I found a nasty directory traversal: http://somehost/?url=/somerepo/about/../../../../etc/passwd This should be pretty straightforward to categorize. Exploitation looks like: http://data.zx2c4.com/cgit-directory-traversal.png I've committed a fix for it here: http://git.zx2c4.com/cgit/commit/?h=wip&id=babf94e04e74123eb658a823213c062663cdadd6 And this fix will be in the master branch and a new release will be made soon. Cgit by default is not vulnerable to this, and the vulnerability only exists when a user has configured cgit to use a readme file from a filesystem filepath instead of from the git repo itself. Until a release is made, administrators are urged to disable reading the readme file from a filepath, if currently enabled. @maintainer(s): after the bump, in case we need to stabilize the package, please say explicitly if it is ready for the stabilization or not.
Bumped to the just released version. Ebuild was never stable to begin with, but stabilize it if you want.
