Doc Text:
A flaw was found in gix-transport. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to inject control characters, specifically NUL, Carriage Return (CR), and Line Feed (LF) bytes, into git-daemon connect requests by crafting malicious git URLs. This injection can lead to spoofing of virtual hosts or the insertion of newlines into daemon requests and logs, potentially causing information disclosure or unexpected behavior.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-09-15 15:52:18 UTC
gitoxide gix-transport before 0.59.2 fails to filter control characters in git-daemon connect requests, allowing attackers to inject NUL/CR/LF bytes via crafted git URLs. Attackers can inject extra NUL-delimited protocol fields to spoof virtual hosts or inject newlines into daemon requests and logs.
