Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2015-169 - It was reported that git, when used as a client on a case-insensitive filesystem, could allow the overwrite of the.git/config file when the client performed a git pull. Because git permitted committing.Git/config , on the pull this would replace the user's.git/config. If this malicious config file contained defined external commands (such as for invoking and editor or an external diff utility) it could allow for the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the git client.

Package : git
Date : March 30, 2015
Affected: Business Server 2.0

Problem Description:
Updated git packages fix security vulnerability:
It was reported that git, when used as a client on a case-insensitive
filesystem, could allow the overwrite of the .git/config file when
the client performed a git pull. Because git permitted committing
.Git/config (or any case variation), on the pull this would replace the
user's .git/config. If this malicious config file contained defined
external commands (such as for invoking and editor or an external diff
utility) it could allow for the execution of arbitrary code with the
privileges of the user running the git client (CVE-2014-9390).
