NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream git-lfs package and not the git-lfs package as distributed by AlmaLinux. See How to fix? for AlmaLinux:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

On Linux, if the target of Root.Chmod is replaced with a symlink while the chmod operation is in progress, Chmod can operate on the target of the symlink, even when the target lies outside the root. The Linux fchmodat syscall silently ignores the AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW flag, which Root.Chmod uses to avoid symlink traversal. Root.Chmod checks its target before acting and returns an error if the target is a symlink lying outside the root, so the impact is limited to cases where the target is replaced with a symlink between the check and operation.
