Description Dhananjay Arunesh 2019-09-20 05:15:31 UTC 
Directory traversal vulnerability in gitolite 3.x before 3.1, when wild card repositories and a pattern matching "../" are enabled, allows remote authenticated users to create arbitrary repositories and possibly perform other actions via a .. (dot dot) in a repository name.
