Description Fabio Valentini 2023-01-14 01:09:06 UTC
libgit2 v1.3.2 was a security update in the 1.3 branch of libgit2, which is what's shipped on Fedora 37 and 36. According to the upstream release notes
    https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/releases/tag/v1.3.2
it contains fixes and compatibility fixes with git for CVE-2022-29187 and CVE 2022-24765.

The epel9 branch of libgit2 is stuck at 1.3.0, which is even before the v1.3.1 security release, which, according to
    https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/releases/tag/v1.3.1
contains fixes for CVE 2022-24765 and other, possibly DDoS-enabling crasher bugs.

I know libgit2 is kind of notorious for breaking API and ABI compatibility between versions, but it would be great if at least security-only updates (which should hopefully not cause these issues ...) could be pushed to stable branches.

Comment 1 Pete Walter 2023-01-20 23:25:45 UTC
Thanks! I wasn't actually aware that there was a new security release on the 1.3 branch.

I took libgit2 over after Igor Gnatenko after it had gotten into a really bad shape. Since then I have gotten it updated to a recent(ish) version in rawhide so it should get security updates there from upstream as they are released.

1.3 is sadly fairly old but as you pointed out there was actually a newer release there. I'm issuing the update for the older branches as I type this.
