NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rust-gdb package and not the rust-gdb package as distributed by Centos.

libgit2 is a portable C implementation of the Git core methods provided as a linkable library with a solid API, allowing to build Git functionality into your application. Using well-crafted inputs to git_index_add can cause heap corruption that could be leveraged for arbitrary code execution. There is an issue in the has_dir_name function in src/libgit2/index.c, which frees an entry that should not be freed. The freed entry is later used and overwritten with potentially bad actor-controlled data leading to controlled heap corruption. Depending on the application that uses libgit2, this could lead to arbitrary code execution. This issue has been patched in version 1.6.5 and 1.7.2.
