RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

This BZ is a clone of a security issues, that does not effect RHEL, however clients are requesting that the git client be updated to the include the software fix in 1.8.5.6, 1.9.5, 2.0.5, 2.1.4 or 2.2.1 to help assist with server implementations from allowing malicious files from being put into the repo.

Ok. I can add patch in future with other patches, hovewer I don't know how QA can test this.

While not a pretty solution, couldn't you just have QA create a vfat filesystem and mount it up for testing?

patch

Promised patch is here, based on upstream and debian solution - because upstream patches are only for newer versions of git (1.8.5+) and this bug it's solved on debian for git v1.7.9. I haven't tested this well, yet, but if anyone want to test this, I will be glad for feedback.
