      "value": "libgit2 is a portable C implementation of the Git core methods provided as a linkable library with a solid API, allowing to build Git functionality into your application. Prior to 1.8.6 and 1.9.5, libgit2 does not reject traversal components in a submodule path loaded from .gitmodules. The affected src/libgit2/submodule.c paths include git_submodule_lookup and git_submodule_add_setup. A crafted repository can specify a path such as ../escape-target, and applications that initialize the submodule can create directories outside the repository working tree. This issue is fixed in versions 1.8.6 and 1.9.5."

Antes de las versiones 1.8.6 y 1.9.5, libgit2 no rechaza los componentes de recorrido en una ruta de submódulo cargada desde .gitmodules. Las rutas afectadas en src/libgit2/submodule.c incluyen git_submodule_lookup y git_submodule_add_setup. Un repositorio manipulado puede especificar una ruta como .. / escape-target, y las aplicaciones que inicializan el submódulo pueden crear directorios fuera del árbol de trabajo del repositorio. Este problema está solucionado en las versiones 1.8.6 y 1.9.5."
