Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals. Git defines a line-based protocol that is used to exchange information between Git and Git credential helpers. Some ecosystems (most notably, .NET and node.js) interpret single Carriage Return characters as newlines, which renders the protections against CVE-2020-5260 incomplete for credential helpers that treat Carriage Returns in this way. This issue has been addressed in commit `b01b9b8` which is included in release versions v2.48.1, v2.47.2, v2.46.3, v2.45.3, v2.44.3, v2.43.6, v2.42.4, v2.41.3, and v2.40.4. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade should avoid cloning from untrusted URLs, especially recursive clones.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

Recommended fix High confidence

Upgrade to v2.48.1 (latest stable) or any of these fixed versions: v2.40.4, v2.41.3, v2.42.4, v2.43.6, v2.44.3, v2.45.3, v2.46.3, v2.47.2, v2.48.1

  1. Check current Git version with: git --version
  2. For Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install git
  3. For RHEL/CentOS/Fedora: sudo yum update git or sudo dnf update git
  4. For macOS (Homebrew): brew upgrade git
  5. For Windows: Download and install from https://git-scm.com/download/win or use Git for Windows installer
  6. Verify the upgrade was successful by running: git --version
  7. Ensure the version is one of the fixed releases: >= 2.40.4, >= 2.41.3, >= 2.42.4, >= 2.43.6, or preferably the latest stable (v2.48.1)
Caveat Minor: Users unable to upgrade should avoid cloning from untrusted URLs, especially recursive clones
