[ANNOUNCE] Git v2.35.2 and below for CVE-2022-24765

[Junio C Hamano]

The latest maintenance release Git v2.35.2, together with releases
for older maintenance tracks v2.30.3, v2.31.2, v2.32.1, v2.33.2, and
v2.34.2, are now available at the usual places.

These maintenance releases are to address the security issues
described in CVE-2022-24765.  Please update at your earliest
opportunity.

The tarballs are found at:

    https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/

The following public repositories all have a copy of the 'v2.35.2',
'v2.34.2', 'v2.33.2', 'v2.32.1', 'v2.31.2', and 'v2.30.3' tags.

CVE-2022-24765:
   On multi-user machines, Git users might find themselves
   unexpectedly in a Git worktree, e.g. when another user created a
   repository in `C:\.git`, in a mounted network drive or in a
   scratch space. Merely having a Git-aware prompt that runs `git
   status` (or `git diff`) and navigating to a directory which is
   supposedly not a Git worktree, or opening such a directory in an
   editor or IDE such as VS Code or Atom, will potentially run
   commands defined by that other user.

Credit for finding this vulnerability goes to 俞晨东; the fix was
authored by Johannes Schindelin.

This fix causes trouble when attempting to 'sudo make install' any
non-tagged Git revision:

  $ git checkout v2.36.0-rc2 
  HEAD is now at 11cfe55261 Git 2.36-rc2
  $ git commit --allow-empty -m foo
  [detached HEAD 237ee2a6ef] foo
  $ make
  GIT_VERSION = 2.36.0.rc2.1.g237ee2a6ef
  [...]
  $ sudo make install
  GIT_VERSION = 2.36.0-rc2
      CC version.o

[ANNOUNCE] Git v2.35.3 and below as a usability fix

[Junio C Hamano]

The latest maintenance releases Git v2.35.3, together with releases
for older maintenance tracks v2.30.4, v2.31.3, v2.32.2, v2.33.3,
and v2.34.3, are now available at the usual places.

These maintenance releases are to address usability issues in the
recent releases 'v2.35.2', 'v2.34.2', 'v2.33.2', 'v2.32.1',
'v2.31.2', and 'v2.30.3', where each "safe" directory has to be
listed on the safe.directory configuration variables.  A broader
escape hatch has been added so that the value '*' can be used to
declare "my colleagues and their repositories I may ever visit are
all trustworthy".

The same fix appears in the tip of 'master' and all the integration
branches of the project above 'master', too.

The tarballs are found at:

    https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/

The following public repositories all have a copy of the tags
mentioned above in the first paragraph.

  url = https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git
  url = https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/git/git
  url = https://github.com/gitster/git


Credit for the usability fix goes to Derrick Stolee.
